Is this a hybrid source?

[SeanYamazaki]

Hello,

99% of the DVDs I've backed up usually required just enabling "fieldop=1" in DGIndexNV or an IVTC. Failing that, I've usually been able to figure out how to deinterlace specific movies by searching here; usually by others who've had trouble with that particular NTSC title.

Firefly Dreams has me stumped, though. I think it's a hybrid, but some parts appear to be 3:2 pulldown whilst combing still exists after IVTC.

The best I can manage is using tfm(order=1).tdecimate(hybrid=3) or "deinterlace=1" in the DGSource filter call. Either one still retains the 29.97 FPS. IVTC or deinterlace? I'm stumped and curious what kind of film this.

Could someone take a look at it and push me in the right direction?

I've included a link to a ~14 second sample:

It's fieldblended from a bad PAL2NTSC conversion. Try this:

Yadif(Mode=1)#or your favorite bobber
Srestore()

Well, how about that. I just learned how to a partial PAL (re)conversion. Thanks for the answer and learning opportunity; and that 25 FPS is nice. Except for a few cropping and resize adjustments, I think I'll keep it that way and encode the AC3 tracks to match. Thanks again!

If you mean stretch the AC3 audio to match the new framerate, the length of the video is the same after as before. Nothing has to be done with the audio to put it in synch with the new 25fps video.

It's only if you slow the video to 23.976fps after having used SRestore that you'll have to also slow the audio.
