IVTC

[bubilullo]

I have an mpeg video file PPPII and wish to apply the IVTC.
While I wait for the new ffmpeg with ivtc function I ask the following question.

Using the mencoder command:
mencoder test.avi -nosound -vf pullup,softskip -ovc lavc -ofps 24000/1001
I can get the 24fps file I wish, however I would like to maintain the Mpeg-2 output format with the best possible quality (not the avi).

I even try to use the mpeg2video codec but there should be a mistake in the sentence I used:
mencoder test.avi -nosound -vf pullup,softskip -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video -ovc lavc -ofps 24000/1001 -o test.mpg

Any suggestion?

I don't have good clips to test ivtc, can you email me a link to yours? So I will make applicable tests.

Your script seems to work for me...

Major, I PM'ed you the link to get the pppii sample video.

mencoder test.vro -nosound -of mpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=5500 -vf pullup,softskip -ofps 24000/1001 -o test.mpg


I'm testing this command and it seems to work fine.

The question is: Is this one the best statement to get the best quality?

Thanks

Is it possible, to just remove the fake interlacing without reencoding? Or is there a problem with the b/p frames?

Good question, this is exactly what I'm trying to do, but at the moments I didn't get any positive result.
