Encoding 720p50 to 720p25

[mulder77]

Hi,

for archiving purposes, I'd like to encode my recordings which are 720p50 with 25 fps only.
If I do this re-encoding in avidemux and apply the "Resample FPS" filter, everything is find and in sync.
For batch purposes, I edit all the recordings in avidemux and store them unchanged on disk.
With a simple batch job in shell, I would like to re-encode the files with x264 on my Fedora system.

Until now, I haven't found a way to have a proper result.

What would be the correct settings to achieve this goal?

Oh, I guess I found it just myself: select_every
I am running a test encode and then I'll see if it's in sync.

That said, you don't need to double bitrate to double the frame rate. For a true archive, I'd want to keep all the frames.

Yeah - pretty please don't throw away half your resolution. You really don't want to :)
