[HELP] Any ideas on how to handle a variable FPS source?

That frame rate happens if you bob such content.
-> bob your content look at the pattern of movement/changes and determine what your source is
Content usually is either:

• progressive: content does who no combing even when no deinterlacer is applied
  
• field shifted: content shows no combing when a deinterlacer is applied, but also shows no content when the content is field hifted (uncommon for DVD content)
  
• interlaced: when bobbed no combing artifacts and each frame changes
  
• telecine: when bobbed no combing artifacs and usually a 3:2 motion pattern is noticable (3 frames change, 2 frames are equal; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine)
  
• some other pattern is visible (uncommon for DVD content; see above link)
  
• mixed (this is can be a mix of interlaced, progressive, telecine content with different pattern)
  If your content is mixed you can either bob and live with the repetitions, or spend some time using other tools to figure out how to properly handle the content. (usually by creating vfr content to handle the different frame rates that have to be handled when all the mixed content is converted to progressive content without repetitions. (Yatta and similar tools are usually used.)
  
• just broken trash, sometimes whoever mastered the DVD just produced trash that is not really worth spending time on it.
  

side note: mixed content often isn't properly played back by normal DVD players

So my advice is: Figure out what you really have.
