NTSC DVD with a 4:2 pattern

[Lucky Luciano]

I have a DVD without any interlaced or combed frames but it has a pattern of 4 progressive frames and 2 blended ones. The DVD runtime was about 4% lower than IMDb so I assumed a PAL->NTSC transcode yet srestore doesn't work and I'm getting a 3:2 pattern with 25fps. I've tried playing with the speed and mode parameters but with no better result. Also, the omode part of srestore doesn't seem to work at all, it gives me errors about the function "average" missing so I can't try any decimation with it.




The DVD is copyrighted so I guess I can't link a VOB sample.

You can link a small sample per the fair use exemption.

OK, take your pick:

and thanks for your time!

As far as I know, nothing can be done about either one of them at this point. Both used a PAL master for the NTSC DVD, and then blend deinterlaced them. Using the current tools, they can't be unblended. You might make the samples available to MOmonster in the SRestore thread, and he may be able to come up with a fix (or maybe not):

Thanks for the input, I'll try my luck there.
