Although this is a rare occurrence, there are some DVDs (mainly old TV shows and TV movies that were shot on film) that have a variable frame rate where most of the program material is 23.976p (with 3:2 pulldown) while portions of it are 59.94i. In my experience, these DVDs will display interlacing artifacts on the interlaced scenes with the 24p mode set to "Auto" on DVD playback (at least with standard Sony Blu-ray players, I don't know if this can also occur with their 4K players). I have a handful of DVDs in my collection that are VFR where the film itself is 23.976p FPS while the end credits are 59.94i FPS. Just thought it'd be worth pointing out.
