[BUG] Problem with QTGMC + EdiExt + Def + more

[Selur]

Could you please advise me on the best way to deal with this type of content in your program to obtain the best possible result?

No clue about the 'best possible' way, but here's how I would start.
Looking at the file.
First thing I noticed, when bobbing the content, every frame is duplicated, so the content isn't really interlaced.
Looking at the content when overwriting the scan type to progressive, you see combing.
The content isn't interlaced (at least not all the time), but probably field shifted or telecined (or a mix).
Looking at the fields separated:

so there is already ghosting in some of the fields.
When disabling bobbing, you still see duplicates, so the content probably is telecined.
So either using TFM+TIVTC or QTGMC(Bob)+sRestore(frate=23.9760), neither of these is perfect.

=> For interlaced handling, I would probably use TFM+TIVTC and add Santiag (or Vinverse2) after it.
For denoising&co I would probably use MCDegrainSharp and sharpen additionally a bit with CAS(0.6 or 0.7). But I can't really say whether that is something you might want to do. (Additionally, adding DPIRDeblock(mlrt) at the end might help)
So here's the script I end up with:

(note, that I changed the filter order compared to the default order)

Alternatively, with QTGMC and sRestore and something like:

(not sure whether this is better, but it is even slower; sadly there is no faster sRestore for Vapoursynth)

Whether you want to denoise or sharpen the content more is up to your preference. (applying for example DetailSharpen seems to be too much for me https://imgsli.com/NDE2ODc5)
