The problem with IVTC is that it doesn't look too good with the anime I'm editing at the moment. I used it in my previous AMV and it worked really well but I just left it at 24 FPS because I didn't fully read the guide, missing the audio part and getting the footage back to 23.97 FPS.
Getting it back to normal is probably the hardest part with the IVTC method - and reading the guides may not help (I couldn't get the program they recommended to work for me). But if worst comes to worse, you *can* use VirtualDub to change the framerate back (just keep trying till it gets it right), and BeSweet will fix your audio up nicely.
But yes, if you have to do the deinterlacing manually, just get the footage in huffyuv, run the deinterlace filter, and save it back to huffyuv - I've had that come out *just* as good as the IVTC method for a few anime.
If you can get inverse telecine to work, it's much better on average. So only use the other way if you absolutely have to.
[And don't mind people, most haven't had the guides fail them, so they don't account for circumstances when you just *can't* do the recommended method. Danny's very right about IVTC, but if it doesn't work, use the next best thing.]
