Hence, the video-sequence can be treated as a 24fps film source. The MPEG-2 video is coded as an interlaced sequence, with NTSC 3:2 pulldown. Coded picture rate : 29.97Hz Conversion: mpeg2avi.exe -b source.vob -f0 -r -s4 -2 -1 352 240 -o7 IVTC.avi mpeg2avi.exe -b source.vob -f1 -r -2 -1 352 240 -o7 raw.avi (FPU-IDCT, half-resolution output, crop to 352x240) encoding time was ~11min on a Celeron-450, Win98SE no audio, Microsoft MPEG-4v3 @ 600kbps, 1keyframe/s, sharp:100 The *_raw.avi file is a straight MPEG2->AVI transfer. The resulting AVI exhibits hairline weave artifacts due to the source M2V's hardcoded 3:2 pulldown. The rawAVI's frame-rate is 29.97Hz, to match the source M2V's playing time. The *IVTC.avi file is the same M2V->AVI transfer, but with the inverse-telecine algorithm (-s4) enabled. The IVTC.avi file has 20% fewer frames, and therefore plays @ 23.976fps. (Please note that the compression artifacts are a result of severe video bitrate reduction, not the IVTC process!) Notes: DolbyDigitalBroadway.vob starts as a 3:2 pulled sequence. Toward the end (the shimmering light logo) the source changes to 30fps video (2:2 pulldown.) Due to the presence of both content types (24fps film & 30Hz video), this clip cannot be inverse-telecined. *For playback to be smooth, CPU should be very fast ( >300MHz.) http://m3.easyspace.com/liaor2/ http://www.dvdsoft.de
