  1. My IQ is too low. Want to inverse telecine 320x240 29.7 fps video but I can't figure out how. All filters offer smart features but noone seems to do what I want. Probably I even do not need what I want, but anyway.
    The frames 1,2,3 are progressive, but 4 and 5 are interlanced.
    The video is downsampled to 320x240 so each line contains information from both fields.
    I see that the frame 4 is halfmade form frames 3 and 4.
    And the frame 5 is halfmade from frames 4 and 1.
    So if I could merge fields 4 and 5 they would make the best intermediate frame between frames 3 and 1. And the frames 3 and 1 this way would stay intact.
    How to do this?
    If I put Telecide(Order=1,Guide=1).Decimate(5), it leaves frames 1 and 2 intact, but blurs frame 3 with newmade 4.
    If I just throw away frame 5 or 4 the previous frame dissaperas too quickly providing probably unvisible but still present jump.
    How to merge frames 4,5 and leave frames 1,2,3 intact?

  2. Thanks everybody for not helping me!
    I did it, I did it!

    AssumeFPS(30)
    ChangeFPS(60)
    SelectEvery(10, 1,2,3,4,5,6, 8,9)
    AssumeFPS(50)
    ChangeFPS(25)

    Any smarter solutions will be apreciated!

    Why do it with "320x240 29.7 fps" video? You only have a fraction of the fields left before you start. True IVTC is impossible.

    Let us know how it comes out.

    PS: What you have is probably

    1 a field of 2 progressive
    2 a field of 2 progressive
    3 a field of 2 progressive
    4 a random field from a mixed frame
    5 a random field from a mixed frame

    So what are you trying to do? Do you want to drop one of these fields?

    You could drop 4 of the fields and have ~6 fps at 320x240.

  4. No, the script does not work I. It throws away field 5 and does not merge it with 4.
    I tryed:

    AssumeFPS(30)
    ChangeFPS(60)
    SelectEvery(10, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9)
    AssumeFPS(50)
    Weave()

    But no efect! The weave syntax says:
    "The new clip has half the frame rate and frame count"
    Nothing of this happens - it leaves all 12345689 frames as they are! And framerate stays 50!
    If I try ConvertFPS(25) instead of Weave() it gives stupid sugestions. I do not understand why there is no filter to merge two frames in one! Do I have to export all frames to folder and then use Photoshop to do the work?
    Also I do not understand why people write filters wich do not work as expected. And have mysterious (to not say idiotic) descriptions like: "The filter attempts to convert"! How does it try? What are criteria? How to affect them?
    Just don't tell me that hundreds of people are using filters and get expected results.
    I do not ask anything to be "explained" me, when it "works" for thousands of people.

    Given your very rude response after only 30 minutes of waiting and you rather rude final post, I'd be surprised if anyone was inclined to jump in and assist.

  6. Oh, I will start crying! I do not need help from people who do not share my frustration! Easyer would be say: I do not know the answer. Did not you read my moto? Cann't tell it's possible don't tell anything.
    There are dozens of guides all dedicated to different versions of filters like decomb and dgdecode.dll all pointing to nonexisting libraries. So it is even not possible to find nor download version described in any guide.

    I would rather have help from those who know and find it easy, than those who are frustrated because they do not. So cry away.

  8. Ok, now I guess I did it. Just one word: Layer.
    Usually there are many people ready to talk about everything else but the topic.

    Clip0 = DirectShowSource("Rhythm And Blues Revue (1955) - [Count Basie, Lionel Hampton, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Etc].m1v")
    Clip1 = trim(Clip0,1,0)
    Clip1 = SelectEvery(Clip1, 5, 1,2,3,4)
    Clip2 = SelectEvery(Clip0, 5, 1,2,3,4)
    Clip2 = trim(Clip2,1,0)
    Layer(clip1, clip2, "add", 127)
    assumefps(25)

    Now, someone tell me it could be done better!
    Here is a result:

    If you have access to the original 720x480, 352x480 or 320x480 interlace file, then you can do an IVTC. What you have at 320x240 is a single field of frames 1,2,3, and a pre blended (mix) for fields at 4, and 5. There is no way to unmix those fields.

    If you can't go back to the original interlace frames to do it right, your only recourse is to toss one of the mixed fields as you have done.
