MarkerB said:  The framerate of the 14GB Cinemax TS capture I've seen is 60 fps, which is a US TV standard and certainly not the 24 fps that the movie was shot in.  I don't think the uploader of that version did any re-encoding.  Once the broadcaster changes the frame rate, I think there's little hope of fixing a lack of smoothness in the time-domain.  If the version you saw was derived from what I saw, it's going to be a mess not matter what they try to do with a re-encode.

That's not true.  The Cinemax broadcast is almost completely soft telecined.  It's a simple matter to restore the original frame-rate.  If there's a problem with the re-encode, it's the fault of the one who encoded it, not the source material.
