Utility to determine telecide pattern?

[batman0105]

Hi,

Is there a utility available that could accurately determine the telecide pattern of a hybrid film/video avi file? I am working with a file that starts out with a 3:2 pattern, but seems to deviate and I am having a hard time determining what the pattern is.

Thanks!

Easiest way I've found is to just load the file into VDub, move to the middle of the file then click on the frame advance. Then just count the pattern. Depending on your source you'll probably want to count 2 or 3 spots in the movie, especially if you don't see the typical 3:2 pattern.
