Fixing bad PAL->NTSC conversion

[Goldmonkey2828]

I have an MPEG2 file that i want to remove all the duplicate frames from a bad PAL to NTSC conversion (the form in which i got it as)

0=original frame
D=duplicate frame
0000D0000D0000D0000D0000D0000D

catch my drift?

I would rather not sit with virtual dub mod and go trough all two hours of frames and delete them all, convert to AVI, and then back to MPEG

Any help? ehhhhhhh????

It's not PAL.

It's 23,976 progressive, gone through hard telecine.
Then field matched back to progressive.
What you need is to decimate.

Use avisynth. index mpeg2 in dgindex (look them up)

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2Source("video.d2v")
selectrangeevery(5,4)

or get decomb and use
decimate(5)
instead of the internal selectrangeevery()

feed your mpeg2 encoder
