Frame properties

[Cary Knoop]

I am having an interlaced TFF m2v video file extracted from a DVD, showing _FieldBased = 0.

I am opening the file using ffms2.Source()

What could be the reason _FieldBased is incorrect. The other properties seem to have transferred correctly.

MediaInfo flags the video file appropriately.

There are a lot of such cases and there is nothing to pay attention to. The image can be progressive, and MediaInfo can show that it is interlaced. Telecined MediaInfo cannot determine at all.
For indexing it is better to use d2v.

What do you mean there is nothing to pay attention to?

As I wrote before the media is interlaced TFF, MediaInfo correctly identifies it as such but by loading it using ffm2 the _FieldBased property shows 0 (which means progressive).

Use d2vsource. It's specialized for this. And FFMS2 can be correct that the frames are indeed progressive what you call "interlaced" is simply RFF flags (which FFMS2 doesn't apply by default).

As I wrote now three times the source is interlaced.

So the bug is in ffms2?

MY CODE IS PERFECT.

The video needs to be assessed only visually, it makes no sense what any program defines.

[poisondeathray]

it's interlaced content (motion every field when separated) , encoding is interlaced TFF, metadata is interaced , FrameProps says FieldBased=2 for me

Maybe you are using old ffms2?

Here is a sample:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z5w91wpm4fwx76u/sample.demuxed.m2v?dl=0first frame props:

_AbsoluteTime 0.0
_ChromaLocation 0=left
_ColorRange 1=limited range
_DurationDen 30000
_DurationNum 1001
_FieldBased 2=top field first
_Matrix 6=170m
_PictType I
_Primaries 6=170m
_SARDen 9
_SARNum 8
_Transfer 6=601

[Cary Knoop]

This is how I obtain the properties:
properties = dict(c.get_frame(0).props)

yes,that's the way:
{'_AbsoluteTime': 0.0, '_ChromaLocation': 0, '_ColorRange': 1, '_DurationDen': 30000, '_DurationNum': 1001, '_FieldBased': 2, '_Matrix': 6, '_PictType': b'I', '_Primaries': 6, '_SARDen': 9, '_SARNum': 8, '_Transfer': 6}

[Cary Knoop]

first frame props:

_AbsoluteTime 0.0
_ChromaLocation 0=left
_ColorRange 1=limited range
_DurationDen 30000
_DurationNum 1001
_FieldBased 2=top field first
_Matrix 6=170m
_PictType I
_Primaries 6=170m
_SARDen 9
_SARNum 8
_Transfer 6=601
I get everything the same except for:
_FieldBased = 0
_PictType = b'P

I am running ffms2 version 2.23.

How do i get version for a ffms2.dll plugin?

How do i get version for a ffms2.dll plugin?
I use VSRepo

Yes, that did it!
Thanks!

Should the vsrepo administrator (is there one?) be notified?
