DVD Rebuilder's use of DGIndex

[mtobc]

I've noticed that DVD Rebuilder uses DGIndex.exe. I was interested in which Field Operation is being used. Is there a process in which Rebuilder can tell if the input is film? If not, are pulldown flags always honored? If so, would that not produce "hard telecined" backups? Please, if you could explain the complete process Rebuilder uses, I'm interested in knowing.

Thanks.

How did you notice that? AFAIK DVD Rebuilder does the indexing all by itself. It does use the DGDecode.dll from the DGIndex package, though.

i notice alot of pal dvds get flagged as interlaced even though the material looks progressive, in those cases i i use rbopt to set cce to progressive and replace the ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true) in the avs script with ConvertToYUY2().

My bad, I made a quick assumption. I'm still curious as to the process the author uses. Things like; if pulldown flags are used to generate actual frames before being passed to an encoder, and, if and when flags get reinserted. Basically, the process used to go from 24fps film to 30fps ntsc.

It does it exactly the same as the source. If the source is soft telecined, the output will also be soft telecined. If the source is hard telecined, so will be the output. If the source is a mix of hard and soft telecine, so will be the DVD-RB output.
