Avisynth Handling of strange fps (120fps) and Avi Dropped Frames

I was searching for info about IVTCing hybrid sources and came upon this thread... quite old btw ;)

Anyways most people want to have avi as final but I want to reencode it to mpeg2 so I didn't understand how it can be done.

I'm trying to put subtitles on my Initial D dvds and reencode them to fit more eps per dvd. The problem is that every 10 sec the framerate changes from 24 to 30 and vice-versa. Can anyone shed some light on how I can reencode it to mpeg2 using those tools mentioned b4 ?

thanks
I think the only solution is to recycle the old japanese 120fps tools (http://www.masteryoshidino.com/hentai/anime-encoding.htm) and to make an application that replaces AVI60GUI as the last step to encode to repeat-field-flags-MPEG-2 instead of 120fps AVI. I'd say, suggest it :).

Hi i got the GITS raw too and i didnt read all what you have written so please correct me if it somewhere in this thread already.

I dont know how i can make the idx from the avi so that the correct information is written into the idx.file.
I tried converting all stuff to 29.970 fps but chkfps still didnt find out that the main ep was at 24 fps.
And the opening was randomly 24 and 30 fps.
So i have 3 questions.
Maybve someone knows about it:

1)
Is there a easy way to manipulate the idx.file?

2)
Can someone translate AVI60?

3)
How can I CORRECTLY reverse the IVTC?
I read somewhere that i just need to deinterlace it (main ep only)

I also tried to encode all 3 segmented parts but cant append them in vdub after feeding thwem with dropped frames.

I hope someone could help me and I'm sorry for my bad english.

What? You have GITS DVD and you are trying to copy it?
Or you have some AVI file which is already 120fps, deinterlaced?

In the former case, you can do whatever,
in the latter case, just use something like:

AVISource("crappy120fpsencode.avi")
Decimate(2).Decimate(2).Decimate(5)

To put it back to 24fps (for whatever purposes)

I say boycott all those 120fps "tools", they havent been updated for years, depend on legacy plugin versions nobody maintains anymore, contain tons of bugs, and nobody really cares enough about 120fps to fix them.
