Are you sure -r works with fieldmatch? I thought it 
breaks horribly and I don't think the fps filter 
can work any better in the general case.

Of course, "-r" is deprecated.

But pullup needs -r, this is documented afair.

(Assuming you mean the non-telecined use-case:)
Just as "-vf fps" it has advantages and disadvantages, 
see various tickets but I believe this is completely 
unrelated.

For the telecined use-case, I don't think the fps 
filter can currently work.
