Postproc should probably be done afterwards for reliability and
quality. Otherwise, detc might not detect interlacing as well and
might introduce a slight bit of new interlacing.

Maybe, maybe not. IMO it's a bad idea.

Hmm, your version must be entirely different from mine. Mine is 29.97
fps all the way through, on DVD. I know there are several different
DVD releases; I have the original with 4 DVDs and only Japanese audio.

Yes, except it uses tons of CPU time and every 4th frame will be shown
for 1/15 second (double time) instead of all frames being shown for
1/24 second. This looks really bad during pans.
