Telecining a low fps clip to improve movement smoothness?

[DJKC]

Wondering if this approach would work, or if there was a better method that wasn't occuring to me.

What the situation is that I have a clip of a live action, low motion Japanese tv show that the original encoder did at 12fps. For most of it it doesn't look bad but the few bits with motion are slightly jerky and watching the whole show tends to give me a light headache. Have tried for over a month to find a better source but it's looking like I'm stuck with this one so I'm looking for help to make it more watchable. Telecining it up to 24fps was all I could think of that might help... I'd welcome any suggestions for a better fix or tips on how best to do this.

I doubt it would smooth it out at all. You can try MotionPerfect from GooderVideo/Dynapel. That WILL help, but I think it's $30 for the non-watermarked full version.

Try DIKO it's free. I had the same problem of jerkiness when watching 23fps dvd's on my standalone, i used diko to encode for dvd and it changes the framerate to 25fps, no more jerky picture, just configure diko for PAL and away you go.

Here is part of the log file:
