Hybrid material

[lpn1160]

I captured a documentary recently. The file clearly shows film & non-film frames.
It appears the film has more interlaced than film frames. Using this script I encoded small portions to see how it played back:

Telecide(order=0,guide=1,post=2).Decimate(mode=3,threshold=2.0)

Portions were jerky of course others weren't.
So if I leave the file to encode at 29.970 fps instead of 23.976 fps,with this script:

Telecide(order=0,guide=1,post=2).Decimate(mode=1,threshold=2.0)

Is it just better to use #kerneldeint() instead?
Final destination will be both DVD and Xvid


any thoughts or advice will be greatly appreciated

Thanxs in advance

i assume the xvid will be low bitrate... so encoding interlaced may not be the best idea.

but the DVD is fine to encode interlaced (i kinda wish more software encoders had auto 3:2 detection so you could get the best of both worlds). just use an encoder that handles interlace well, and make sure alternate scan is selected (and make sure you set field order correct - check in avisynth with assumetff or assumebff and bob, and you'll know what the correct field order is).
