Forced film or not

[Skloten]

I've got a question.

When i opened the movie in dvd2avi and check if it is progressive or interlaced.
It says:

(NTSC movie)

Video Type : FILM ( no percentage)
Frame Type : jumps from progressive to interlaced very fast.


What should you use when you're working on a project like this ?


I did a test with forced film and one no field operation with a small piece of the movie.
And encoded it what you need to use for these two.
But i couldn't see a difference very well.
It's just a guess but the (interlaced encoded) looked something better, or i could just imaged this.
But both looked almost the same. As I already encoded the hole movie as progressive.

I would tend to think you're seeing Telecined content, where the MPEG-2 flags are not used. Force FILM cannot be used, and a manual IVTC is likely to be the proper procedure, if you manaully confirm it.

You must have missed this sticky thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34696) in this forum. It points to a tutorial which will show you how to manully confirm if the content is Telecined.
