I don't see a problem here.  If the content has 3:2
pulldown then inverse telecine should be done along
with deinterlacing.  Encoding/transcoding will be more
effective, and power will be conserved.  

I think that transcode and ffmpeg can do 3:2 pulldown
removal and deinterlacing, but I don't see anything in
the mythtranscode documentation.

Will mythtranscode accept a command line arg to
perform 3:2 pulldown removal and deinterlacing?
