NTSC telecine source -> PAL DVD/VHS?

[Pete_In_Oxford]

I'd be grateful if someone could point me at a script that would help here. I have a quantity of (mostly) film-sourced material on videotape from my days in the US which I would like to transfer to DVD and/or VHS. From what I'm reading on doom9, what I *think* I need to do is undo the telecine business, then speed up the resulting clip to 25 progressive frames per second, while adjusting the audio(?).

Or not. I'm suffering from an excess of information as much as anything else ... sharfis_brain's auto converter looks really good, but the discussion about it is between people who know perfectly well what they're talking about, so every other concept seems to go astray, for this newcomer at least. I'm finding it very difficult to keep up (of course, the pace of innovation in Avisynth is a good thing - I'm not complaining!)

So a sample script would be a huge help. Could anyone spare a moment, please?

Many thanks,

Pete.

There are script examples for the IVTC process in the Decomb documents. Then to speed up the video you just do AssumeFPS(25.0). You'll also have to lengthen the audio in an audio editor such as CoolEdit.

There's another way you might find acceptable that leaves the audio as is. First apply the IVTC. Then use DGPulldown to convert from 23.976 to 25 fps. Purists might blanch at that, but you may find it acceptable.

Just start doing something and post again when you run into a difficulty. :)
