Inverse Telecine of prefectly sequenced video

I have found TONS of tools that try to automatically inverse telecine
video. They all try to guess what the pattern is and process from
there.

They never guess perfectly and I KNOW the pattern. The video is
perfectly arranged in 3 full frames with 2 interlaced frames. There
are no dropped frames and the pattern is confirmed consistent
throughout the file.

I have many AVIs where the FFFIIFFFIIFFFIIFFFII...etc pattern is
perfect.

What program is best for accepting an input pattern to keep full
frames, split interlaced frames into fields and delete "pulldown"
fields and combine the remaining fields to make the last frame?

Hello - see the guide here, it gives info on using
virtualdub.

Also, if you're doing avi > mpg, tmpgenc inverse telecine
works quite well.

Actually, TMPGenc will work fine for an avi -> avi also. Just do your
manual inverse Telecine in TMPGenc, save the project file and open the
project file as a fake avi using something like VFAPIConv.

I have yet to see a program do even a remotelty good job with an
automatic Inverse Telecine. Best I have come across is doing it all
manually with TMPGenc.

 

Thanks for that info. I've never used the
tmpgenc project file that way.
Cheers,
Dave

VirtualDub does this very well. It has both manual and automatic inverse telecine.

Apple's Cinema Tools also does manual inverse telecine.
