A new AviSynth filter is now available, SmartDecimate. You can find it at
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/tel/ .
This filter implements the Telecine Removal method at
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/tel/method.html. Although some parts of the document are now out of date as I have modified my filter a bit since I wrote the document.
This filter should be more stable than my Median filter.
It requires my C API Plugin which you can find at
http://kevin.atkinson.dhs.org/avisynth_c/.
It should be very good at handling irrigular telecine. It will be very diffacult to get it to duplicate frames. It will also handle hybrid clips fairly well without any excessive jerkiness or blurring.
Things it should be good at:
(Possibly irregular) 3:2 pulldown -> 24 fps
Mix of trully interlaced material and 3:2 pulldown -> 24 fps
Better smart bob for telecine material (full resultion on telecine frames) when used together with a normal smart bob filter such as DgBob (
http://neuron2.net/dgbob/dgbob.html) or Smooth Deinterlacer (

Please test it out and let me know what you think.
