Poor conversion issues

[levick]

Morning all,

I have been given a series of 10 minute short movies that have had the flag references destroyed.
My request is to retrieve the 23.976 fps again so I can convert to PAL 25 fps.

Now it gets interesting the films have been authored after conversion to 29.7 fps so I can not lock to the 2:3 pull down sequence for the whole clip. So I am hoping to use a script for avisynth. I need to say use the first 200 frames do the pull down in a certain order then the next 200 frames the pulldown needs to be altered again and so on etc etc so with every cut to a different scene I will need to alter the pull down configuration.

Can any one assist with a way to look at the first sequence of frames apply the pull down correctly and look at the next scene reapply another pull down sequence giving me the magic 23.976 pure progressive stream..

If I have not made my request clear please ask..I would like to "rip" into this project so to speak.

so it could look like (omitting the separating of frames and weave instructions).


check frames 0,200 selectevery (10, 0,1, 2,3, 4,5, 8,9)
check frames 201,500 selectevery (10, 0,1, 4,5, 6,7, 8,9)

and so on until done.

Thanks in advance... :thanks:

I think YATTA has the ability to deal with varied pulldown sequences in different parts of the video, but it can be difficult to use.

Sorry, YATTA could you explain pleasean old thread on YATTA (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64440). Its a very versatile but complex tool for teleciding, primarily designed for anime, but it works for any source.
