Any decent way to convert higher fps movies to a lower 29.97 fps ? (or othe

[Jonz]

I've been trying to make a movie made with various frame rates going like 40 to 60, game footage from FRAPS. But there's always a problem when finalizing the movie in my desired frame rate is the end result is choppy.

I tried with blending method but I'm not satisfied as it create very blurry images and desaturate the overall pictures too much from my taste. Is there a better way to make conversion more accurate than letting the software guessing the frames?

You can interlace it which will give you an effective 59.94fps. Using AviSynth, it might go something like this:

AssumeTFF()
Yadif(Mode=1)
ChangeFPS(59.94)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,0,3)
Weave()

This assumes you're doing something (like making a DVD) where interlacing it is OK. And for Blu-Ray 1280x720, progressive 59.94fps is allowed. For YouTube it's no good. In that case 29.97fps is the highest you can use.
