How to convert the DVX footage into 24p?

I always recorded clips with the DVX I had in the mode where it stores 24p imagery in an interlaced video file. I now have a clip on youtube, but is still displays as interlaced, which nowadays does not look good anymore. How can I deinterlace the original footage, losslessly restoring the 24p material contained in it? So I get progressive footage? Thanks for any help. I don't have any video editors anymore on my Windows 10 system, except the free version of Davinci Resolve, which does not seem to shine in SD AVI handling. And I doubt I would get my old In-Sync Blade to run on Windows 10.

You don't deinterlace 24p footage; you don't ever want to deinterlace 24p footage. You'll get a big mess.

What you want to do is remove pulldown.

But if you don't have any video editing software, you really can't do that.

All modes of shooting on the DVX record to an interlaced stream. Both the 24p and 24pA modes record with pulldown.

But because you don't have a way to remove it, you want to shoot in 24p mode, not 24pA.
 
Thanks for the reply. I also have clips from a HVX-200 I once had, where I shot SD to MiniDV. So what software do I need to remove the pull-down? I'll also google in minute.

Edit: There is a free app called pulldown.exe, but it seems to be no longer available.

I got my trusty old In-Sync Blade video editor running on Windows 10 in compatibility mode and using a keygenerator I got from a tester (In-Sync has long been defunct). So I was able to extract the 24p from the interlaced footage. Exporting to video always crashed, but putting it out to an image sequence and an audio file worked. I then made a video out of the latter two components using Virtual Dub; this gives me a huge video file, which I then compressed with TPMG MPEG converter or Handbrake. Problem solved.
