I somehow messed up a h.264 stream's properties => stuttering

[antoniu200]

Length of each time codes in both files seems to be 24ms (attached file).
I see no combing at all in the 7x13 file, that seems to be just progressive, but flagged as interlaced.
(7x14 is a mix of progressive and interlaced content)

Interesting. Just took a look myself frame-by-frame on MPC-HC. What seems to be causing the stutter is the fact that, while deinterlacing, the resulting frame is played after one frame is repeated 3 times, then 2 new frames are played one after the other.
Sort of like (frame numbers): 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7...
In any case, it is clear the TV station changed (one time only - you can see 7x13 was broadcasted the next day) the way they speed up the show for broadcast.

Now, how is this supposed to be played, or at least re-encoded?

If I process it with AviDemux, deinterlace with YADIF Field mode and decimate, the result is very strange still: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9.
Identical result is achieved with YADIF in Frame mode.

Could you notice the stutter in MPC-HC on 7x14? It's supposed to be missing on 7x13.

No. (using MPC-HC 2.3.3., NVIDIA Hardware decoding and MPC Video Renderer)

Strange. I am using MPC-HC 1.9.2.12, but still NVIDIA Hardware decoding and MPC Video Rendered. Also tried EVR (CP), but the result is the same.


EDIT: Oh, I think I just realized something obvious. One sure way to fix this is to resample the video to play at the original 24/1.001 FPS. That's a sure way to fix this.
Is there any other way, preferably done during decoding & playback?
