Ok, reporting back:
Thanks to Phil, Carey and Brian for pitching in.
1. Phil – the script worked for about 40% of the shots. Even using the region of interest, it sometimes jumped over several seconds of footage where the movement was obvious but not, shall I say, overt. The shots it processed well were not 100% correct and some duplicate frames were left in.
2. Carey – there are no fields in the footage so there was no pulldown to remove.
3. Brian – flipping the speed, the reverse of what you suggested, that is, setting the duration to 80%, nailed it exactly. Every fifth frame, which was a duplicate of the forth frame, was eliminated.
Thanks again to everyone, and to this list, which has given me tools to work more efficiently and inspired me in so many different ways.

I have several clips that originated in film, maybe originally 24 fps, rendered at 23.986 at some point, that were no doubt dropped into an NLE timeline set to 29.97. The result is that every 4th frame is repeated: A B C D D and so on. Is there a script or a plug-in that will delete every fifth frame so i don't spend hours doing it by hand? An especially painful process in AE which results in endless layers.
