First, thanks to the contributors to this forum -- a huge source of valuable information for me.
I am posting this after spending some time researching this and other forums. I am sure there is an obvious setting I am missing somewhere, but I can't find it -- I am still a newbie trying to understand the technology.
I am trying to use DGIndex Parse D2V tool to detect the frames with the pulldown pattern.
The clip I am using (from a movie captured from NTSC cable) is using that pattern, which I can see very clearly when stepping through it with VirtualDub. But DGIndex fails to show the * indicating 3:2 pattern.
More details:
I am using DGIndex 1.5.0
I used DGIndex to generate a d2v file from my mpeg2 capture.
My script (to observe the pattern) has one line:
MPEG2Source("D:\clip.d2v")
The parse output looks like this:
D2V Parse Output
Encoded Frame: Display Frames....Flags Byte (* means in 3:2 pattern)

I don't have a problem with that clip which has a very consistent 3:2 pattern, but I want to make this work to help IVTC other material with somwhat irregular patterns, and the DGIndex parsing tool would then be very useful.
