Convert PAL DV to Standard PAL

I´ve to convert files PAL lower field first (DV) to Standard PAL, upper field first. Any suggestion about scritp? Avisynth 2.0x or 2.5x? I´m compressing later the file using TMPGEnc Plus.

Thanks

One trick for reversing the field dominance is to crop one line off the top and then use BorderControl() to duplicate the bottom line.

Note: Swapping fields is not the same as reversing field dominance.

I've only ever played with a DV file once and just did it "by hand" as the saying goes, but I think a dedicated plugin would be quite useful.

I'll knock one up unless you want to Don?

Go for it, Simon!

Why don't you post the functional spec here before you start coding?

erm...

Version 1
Shift all lines up one except the top one.
Copy 2nd bottom line to bottom line.

Version 1.1
Maybe let use decide whether to shift down instead of up?

what a task master

name: ReverseFieldDominance
Version 1 will support RGB and YUY2
It'll be compiled for Avisynth 2.5

Once you big boys have sorted out the YV12 chroma interlacing issues it might do YV12 in a later version. I'm just keeping out of the way for now

Ingenius, but strictly, it is not fully correct as a general method, because it makes new frames with different field combinations. E.g., if we had originally:

1 3 5
2 4 6

Your method would make:

3 5 7
2 4 6

The dominance has been changed, yes, but the fields have been recombined. Probably in most applications (where reversing dominance is required) that is acceptable. But to maintain the original field combinations, you'd need the shifting method. Also, your method is a bit trickier to implement in a standalone filter.

Trivia point: Your method can also be done by:

SeparateFields().Trim(1,0).Weave()

...and thankyou Simon!
Have to try ASAP by myself.

One thing:
Why "bordercontrol"(?) and not something like PAL_DVbordercontrol,
or KTPDVBR (KeepThePalDvBorderRight)

mmmh, would'nt it be better to swap the even and odd lines like this?

Line 001 ---> Line 002
Line 002 ---> Line 001
Line 003 ---> Line 004
Line 004 ---> Line 003
...
Line 575 ---> Line 006
Line 576 ---> Line 005

So the first line of field1 is still the first line, but of field2. I Think this method is a little slower, but it is more correct. Or am i wrong? Maybe you you could let the user select the method?

Well, that corrects the temporal order but at the expense of the spatial field order.

Moving everything up by 1 line corrects temporal but keeps spatial order as well.

You must have missed this bit earlier in the thread:

"Note: Swapping fields is not the same as reversing field dominance."

Just curious, what exactly is the diffenece between the two? For example my capture card gets the field wrong and I always use field swap. Is field dominance also a hardware/driver issue or is it in some sources and not in others?
