I have a 720p HDTV capture clip that has been giving me lots of trouble. The clip in question can be downloaded here:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/a014gh5/n/Redemption-intro_mpg
I have tried numerous scripts, filters, and methods to bring this clip back to its original frame rate. The problem is that the footage (720p60 MPEG-2 from HDTV capture) was originally shot at 24p, then brought to 59.94, and then had some effects added and was edited at 59.94, so the cadence is all over the place in this source. I have tried 1, 2, and even 3 pass scripts but have thus far been unable to find anything that is "perfect" (I understand that this may not be possible, but...).
The best that I have been able to achieve is the following:
dgdecode_mpeg2source("F:\Redemption.d2v",info=3)
tdecimate(mode=7,vfrdec=0,hint=false,nt=2,dupthresh=3,vidthresh=5)
The primary sections that I have had trouble with are frames 115-218, and frames 465-610. I think the above script handles 465-610 pretty well, but in 115-218, there are still a number of repeated frames that remain. The pattern in the source for frames 115-218 appears to be this: 22221111112132534343434343525321112112211212
Any help that could be provided in creating a better script would be greatly appreciated. Even a VFR script is OK if that is the only way for the motion and action are to remain smooth. Thanks.
