It's a long video, so I have made a shortened version available
to see if anyone has seen such a case. It's in 1080p and 23.97
fps. I'd like to save it in a similar frame rate and size, but to
be honest, the frame rate could be just about anything as long as
the interlacing was gone.

It is 29.97, not 23.97.

I tried checking for interlacing on the original video... None of
the frames are set as interlaced when I ran ffprobe.

The (short) video (6MB): https://www.datafilehost.com/d/5474b665

So, is this video the original, or the output of something you
tried?

If it is the original, I'm not sure you can do anything about it.
Why, because it is progressive video.  To IVTC requires interlaced
video @ 59.94 fields per sec, so that the 2:3 pulldown pattern can
be found and removed.  You can't find the 2:3 pulldown pattern in
progressive video. While we humans can see the 2:3 pulldown
pattern, I'm not sure what filter can.

Maybe someone has a way, but I certainly do not know it.

Yep. 29.97. You watched a shortened "original."

I produced it for you thusly so you could wince along with me:

ffmpeg -ss 28:21 -t 6 -i in.mp4 -c:v copy out-short.mp4

The results of my deinterlacing attempts looked the same as this.

Thanks for your comments. My hope is that the miscreant who
transcoded it into progressive and left all of the artifacts...
doesn't do this any more. My eyes hurt.

Vid looks like it's scaled up from 480 height and pillarboxed, so the
weave is not line for line anymore.

It's probably been scaled as progressive which on strong chroma will (I
think) be un-mendable. Saying that the sample can be scaled down to 480
and the weave is 1:1 again, which holds out the possibility that you
could make it interlaced again with tinterlace and try to get IVTC to
run on that.

No idea as to exact commands - just a bit of hope you could make it a
bit better - but not perfect like you could if you had the "real" ntsc
master.
