Telecined NTSC -> PAL

[Slogra]

I'm trying to convert a telecined NTSC DVD to a "progressive" PAL DVD. But there is only one little problem: it seems to duplicate one of the 24 frames to get 25 fps, instead of speeding up from 24 to 25fps like i intended to.

So here's my little AVS script which i use in TMPEG to make the m2v (CCE doesn't want to cooperate anymore :p):

LoadPlugin("E:\DVDrip\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVDrip\GORDIA~1\decomb.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\!VOB\starwars4\starwars4.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)
Telecide(order=1,guide=1).Decimate()
ChangeFPS(25)
crop(16,100,696,280)
LanczosResize(720,400)
tweak(0,1.10,0,0.9)
AddBorders(0,88,0,88)

I also tried AssumeFPS=25 but that gives the same result. So i guess the must be some other way to speed up to 25fps, i just haven't found it yet :p. Help!

BTW. Does it matter if i use AssumeFPS=25 or AssumeFPS(25)?

assumefps=25

creates a variable called 'assumefps' and gives the value 25 to the so called variable 'assumefps'

assumefps(25)

calls the function 'assumefps'. then assumefps reads 225 and then speeds up the video from 23.976 fps to 25 fps.

your script should look (parially) like this:

telecide(params..)
decimate(params..)
assumefps(25,true) #true leaves the audio (if it is opened into avisynth) staying in sync
ssrc(48000) #resample the audio to standard rates.

Thx for your fast reply.

That explains a lot. I think i will get it right next time.

The "ResampleAudio(44100)" line is to work around a CCE problem, it doesn't really do anything cause there is no audio in the video (and i changed to TMPEG anyway ;) ). The audio is still in AC3 format, so i have to speed it up later. But first i want to get the video right, which shouldn't be a problem after your explenation :) .

Btw. Nice avatar! :cool:
