I am planning on making SVCDs from some hard to replace VHS movies. What is the best way to inverse telecine the capture?

Obviously doing it as part of the capture process would be the most space efficient, are any of the capture programs capable of doing this?

Otherwise, I would need either use the IVTC built into the MPEG encoder like TMPGEnc, frameserve through an IVTC filter, or use a standalone app.

And given the choice, my order of preference is:
#1 Quality (no combing if possible)
#2 Space required
#3 Speed (with TMPGEnc being the lower limit)

I think that it would be really hard for the PC to capture the frames, buffer a certain number of them, inverse telecine them and finally write the AVI without getting out of synch.

Concerning the method to use, I personnaly use Decomb with Avisynth. It gave good results. You could also try GreedyHMA.

Thanks for the reference Awatef, but that thread is mostly about the parameters to use for a particular IVTC. I am interested in what different applications can do IVTC, and which provides the best results in the least time using the least amount of diskspace.
