How can I determine at which frame my film has switched from soft telecine to hard telecine (or possibly interlaced) by reading the d2v?

d2v excerpt:

900 5 0 128745472 0 1 1 30 71 92 f3 b0 e1 b2 f3 a0 f1 b2 e3
900 5 0 129138688 0 1 1 30 71 92 f3 b0 e1 b2 f3 a0 f1 b2 e3
900 5 0 129529856 0 1 1 30 71 92 f3 b0 e1 b2 f3 a0 f1 b2 e3
900 5 0 129908736 0 1 1 30 71 92 f3 a0
900 5 0 130091008 0 1 1 90 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0
900 5 0 130392064 0 1 1 30 30 90 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0
900 5 0 130709504 0 1 1 30 30 90 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0
900 5 0 131022848 0 1 1 30 30 90 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0 b0 b0 a0

I tried parsing the d2v in dgindex but that confused me further...

the final lines of my parse file:

151156 [B]: 183496,183497.......2
151157 [B]: 183497,183498.......2
151158 [P]: 183498,183499.......2
[GOP: closed]
151159 [I]: 183499,183500.......2

There are 183500 frames in my movie and I assumed the first number to be the frame after performing IVTC but it's not. There are only 146800 frames after IVTC. Thanks for any help on this. :)

The first number is the coded frame number. The second two numbers are the display frame numbers in which the top and bottom fields of the coded frame will appear. The last number will be cycling 0,1,2,3 on successive lines for a 3:2 section, and it will be marked with an asterisk.

Thanks for the explanation neuron2. I understand now.
