The fps filter has (imo very) strange characteristics, 
some may call it broken: We have input files for which 
it alternatingly drops and duplicates frames, it seems 
not have a sufficient "buffer".
(But this is unrelated to pulllup / pulldown.)

There is now (it was there before, but nobody realized 
afaict):
-vf dejudder,fps=30000/1001,fieldmatch,decimate

There is of course the idet filter that allows to 
detect the non-mixed cases.

PS: A bug in decimate affecting the first five frames 
of the output stream was reported and should be fixed 
soon.
