Footage that was telecined prior to editing - is there a "one fits all" script?

[me7]

I'm currently fighting with a few Blurays that were shot at film speed, telecined and THEN edited. The result is a video with a varying telecine pattern that all scripts and filters I tried so far failed to adept to. Some parts get reconstructed properly but often wrong fields are weaved together.

What is the recommended state-of-the-art filter at the moment?

BTW: The Blurays in question are the concerts "Live at Budokan" by Dream Theater and "Mindcrime at the Moore" by Queensrÿche, just in case someone here already worked on them and found a solution.

Which plugins have you actually tried using, and what settings did you use? It is tough to give advice without know that information.

TFM/TDecimate has a lot of switches and can usually do what you want.

P.S. If you can post a few seconds of the video, that would also help.

Upon closer inspection I think that the problem isn't caused by the editing, but by a mix of blended frames and telecine :confused:

It was telecined and then blend deinterlaced. Check out SRestore or FixBlendIVTC.

Srestore is intended to be used with a bob filter, right? It would give me a 47,952 fps result?
Is FixBlendIVTC any different in this regard?

The playback device I target doesn't support more than 30 fps.

Not in this usage of it.

Not in this usage of it.

A typical script might go:

SRestore(omode="pp3")
TDecimate()

Read the included doc.

Again, read the doc included in the .avs itself.
