Looks like everything is working now. Fieldmatch does produce about 20 missed frames in a 40 minute show, which is fine. I looked for them and couldn't see them.

One caveat. The command 

ffmpeg  -fflags +genpts -i in.vob  -i novid.mkv -map 0:v -map 1 -c copy out.mkv

uses upwards of 1.5G and I start hitting swap with a movie, not with a 40 minute show. I assume it is storing a index of the vob or something so that it can make the correct pts's. Is there some way to tweak the command for this situation?

I will if I have a problem with fieldmatch. For pullup I would replace 

-vf fieldmatch,decimate 

with

-vf pullup -r 24000/1001

and

-vf fieldmatch,decimate=6

with

-vf pullup -r 25000/1001

correct?
