Best strategy for de-telecining difficult 24PF footage

So, I'm working on a project and some of it was shot 10 years ago on a Canon XA-10 with the dreaded 24PF format.

I'm working on a film in FCPX that's 24fps. I took the footage and did Reverse Telecine in Compressor. This solved the issue for most of the footage, but some of it had people walking past the camera, and there is still some slight interlacing after the Reverse Telecine in Compressor.

Any suggestions for what to try? I still have a backup of the original card I shot this on. Is there any way to somehow try to reverse it from the card rather than once it's been exported as 30i.

I know FCPX has a way to stop the conversion in importing, but that only works if it's from the camera. That option is greyed out if I try to import again.

Re: Best strategy for de-telecining difficult 24PF footage

Have you one or two short problem clips straight off the card you could upload a copy of to Dropbox or similar?

Over the years doing history docos I've accumulated a bunch of tools for bringing yesteryear footage back from almost every conceivable aspect ratio, framerate and codec one could run into. Happy to try and see what works in bringing your clips back to the modern post production world. At least we might work out the best way to approach the problem. I could then backload the results for you to check out.

So 24 segmented frames to what? 23.98, 24 exact? What are you after as your preferred editing codec format and frame rate?
