IVTC question

[Floatingshed]

Its a kind of "what is best..." question!

When working with a vob that needs IVTC I always use DGMPGDec to create the avs and D2V files with honor pulldown flags and then use telecide and decimate in the avisynth script.
I'd like your opinion please as to whether this is the most reliable method or would using DGMPGDec to do the IVTC be a better option.

Thanks.

It depends on the source. If, when running the Preview, it shows as Progressive/Film (soft telecine), then you should create a 23.976fps D2V using Forced Film. If it's hard telecine, then you create the D2V using Honor Pulldown Flags and apply IVTC in the script.

Got it! Thanks.
