Thanks a lot for that. I’ll have a go with some of the other missing footage and see how it comes out. How would the script need to be altered for a PAL source, to get it to 23.976fps with the same smartbob result? I would like to do a comparison against another source I have.

People don’t tend to use rePal on PAL, for obvious reasons. 😃 It’s an alternative to SRestore really. You could add the 24.975fps to my script for a similar result. It’s usually correct (though this might be an odd case, which is why I asked how the source was made earlier in the thread). And like PlatB did, you could slow it back down by calling AssumeFPS().

LoadCplugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\yadif.dll")
Mpeg2Source()
AssumeTFF()
Yadif(mode=1)#or QTGMC or whatever
SRestore(frate=24.975fps)
AssumeFPS(24000,1001)

I take it that the PAL source on which you wish to work is also field blended – in which case, you could use SRestore on that too. For 25fps input, it should default to returning 23.976fps.

LoadCplugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\yadif.dll")
Mpeg2Source()
AssumeTFF()
Yadif(mode=1)#or QTGMC or whatever
SRestore()
