removes pulldown flags during import of MPEG2/DVD, keeping the original 23.976 frame rate
The reason is that IVTC is not really being done. Doing IVTC implies that the 29.97 fps video is sent thru a filter, like AVISynth, to extract the 23.976 frames and recode those frames. Removing the 2:3 pulldown flags doesn't do any recoding, thereby keeping the original MPEG-2 quality.
Just a thought.
A side note: I started working on another project and discovered some material was marked as variable frame rate 29.97. And there was material that was marked as variable frame rate 23.976 w/ 2:3 pulldown. All on the same DVD. Can't seem to make up their minds.  |
IVTC applies to hard-telecined material only which is different from soft-telecining based on flags.
