Hello!

Recently I've come across with some old movies that have a rather weird field order. Such as this one: MPEG2 SAMPLE (http://personal.inet.fi/private/hood/sample.mpg)

I've no clue whatsoever how to deal with sources such as this one :confused:

It's a PAL source and it's full of interlaced frames. But there's more. It also has some blended frames. There are like 3 of them per every 25 frames. So I'd like someone to tell me how to get rid of these unneeded frames, so I can get the framerate correct.

I know I could just deinterlace the whole flick and leave it be. But the movie is 2 hours long and I'm trying my best to make it fit one on a single CD (700MB). So removing these frames would certainly help. And I also want to remove them, because I feel like they make the motion look somewhat ghosted.

There's nothing weird about the field order. It's TFF.

Yes, you have field-blended video. It is quite common, and if you do proper searches you'll find out all about it and how people try to deal with it. Your first search attempt might be:
