I end up playing some of the scenes on my DVR at 0.25 or 0.5 speed just to see it play out normally.

If you haven't seen it, check out "They Shall Not Grow Old". Filmmaker Peter Jackson colorized and restored a bunch of WWI video (including correcting the frames-per-second). They went so far as to get forensic lip-readers to lip-read a particular bit of silent video, research the unit to determine the appropriate accent, and then hire a voice actor with that accent to dub the video. Pretty thorough. Amazon Prime, I think.
