Convert 25.00fps->29.970->23.976

[apk]

Hello,

I was not sure which section to put this in, hope this is the right one.

I have many music videos on dvd. The particular one i am trying to convert to xvid at the moment was shot in NTSC and has been badly converted to PAL at the production end. If the DVD was NTSC then i could just IVTC the videos but as they are heavily interlaced and badly converted the end results are poor. :(

I was wandering if there was a method to take the 25.00fps to 29.970fps so i could then IVTC and bring the videos down to 23.976fps, i dont mind about losing sync with the audio - that can easily be fixed.

I have been backing up DVD's for a long time and am used to bad conversions, this one just really annoys me.

Hope someone can help :)

thanks :D

i know how to take from 29 to 23 but its the 25 to 29 part without making it look "jumpy"

you'd rather they sped up your music and brought up the pitch by a semitone?

give this a try: it's not very tested, but worked on a couple of movies that had been converted from NTSC to PAL.

function unconvertPAL (clip c)
{
c.tdeint(1,1,mtnmode=1,expand=4,tryweave=true,cthresh=8,mi=12,type=2).vinverse()#,edeint=Interp).vinverse()
global clippidoo=last
global edge=clippidoo.mt_edge(mode="prewitt",thy1=0,thy2=255,y=3,u=-128,v=-128).levels(0,.25,255,0,255,coring=false)
scriptclip(clippidoo,""" edge.averageluma() < edge.selectevery(1,-1).averageluma() && edge.averageluma() < edge.selectevery(1,1).averageluma() ? clippidoo.ydifferencefromprevious() > clippidoo.ydifferencetonext() ? clippidoo.selectevery(1,1) : clippidoo.selectevery(1,-1) : clippidoo """)
changefps(60000,1001)
tdecimate(cycleR=6,cycle=10)
}

this should output 23.976 fps. if there's any non-film content in the original NTSC it'll have spoiled motion (you can't win them all).


[edit]

you should also try "restore24" and some of the other "un-blending" techniques out there :search:

[apk]

thanks for the reply - where do i load that script? :p

[krieger2005]

At the same place where you can find it ;) (it's not that hard).

BTW: If your source is blended than you can also try MOmonster's Crestore.

cant you please just tell me. would i load that into avisynth or vdub or something?
thanks

You put that function into your avisynth script and then call it. Maybe like this:

function unconvertPAL (clip c)
{
c.tdeint(1,1,mtnmode=1,expand=4,tryweave=true,cthresh=8,mi=12,type=2).vinverse()#,edeint=Interp).vinverse()
global clippidoo=last
global edge=clippidoo.mt_edge(mode="prewitt",thy1=0,thy2=255,y=3,u=-128,v=-128).levels(0,.25,255,0,255,coring=false)
scriptclip(clippidoo,""" edge.averageluma() < edge.selectevery(1,-1).averageluma() && edge.averageluma() < edge.selectevery(1,1).averageluma() ? clippidoo.ydifferencefromprevious() > clippidoo.ydifferencetonext() ? clippidoo.selectevery(1,1) : clippidoo.selectevery(1,-1) : clippidoo """)
changefps(60000,1001)
tdecimate(cycleR=6,cycle=10)
}

vid=mpeg2source("yourd2v.d2v")
unconvertPAL(vid)

thanks, im going to try that :)

[apk]

didnt have much luck with that :( - thank you anyway
