Back in the 1990s a number of US mail-order companies offered PAL copies of their VHS tapes, which would have been converted from S-VHS NTSC to PAL VHS via a Panasonic AV-W1. I've got a number of these tapes which are compilations of 35mm film trailers. I've captured them to ProRes and I'd like to restore them back to their original 23.976 progressive framerate.
As you can see from the attached sample, the poor standards conversion from NTSC to PAL has created a bit of a mess. What would be the best way of fixing these? I tried sRestore and saw a lot of dupe frames, and even some frames seemingly split into two via a jagged line.
