IVTC PATTERN (it just make me NUTS)

Somebody? hehehe well, lets get to the point: 2 progressives+ 1 interlaced: Thats the way it goes. can anybody drop some lightfull words about it? what can i do to proper decimate it?

What is the frame rate? I think I've seen this pattern only in 480p & 720p 59.94 HDTV material made from progressive 24 fps film material. But if so then the pairs of progressive frames would be duplicates and something like SelecEvery(5,0,3) or so would give you back the film. - Tom

Hi- According to , it's a silent film from 1927. Therefore the original frame rate was almost certainly less than 24fps. I think your first instinct is the best-decimate it by 3. Then look carefully through parts of it for any more duplicate frames. Silent films were made with many different frame rates, 18fps being perhaps the most common. It wasn't until sound came in that 24fps became the standard. However, if you use the AssumeFPS(30) to begin with, the audio will become slightly asynch, so you'll have to resynch it with a WAV editor. Sounds like an interesting movie.

thanx a lot gonna try soon and post some words about it cheers

@manono: Why should the audio get out of sync by using AssumeFPS ? This function can take more precise (float) arguments as well. Or did you mean something else?
