Anyone have some suggestions on dealing with 2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldowns?

Has anybody ever dealt with 2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldown PAL transfers before? I've tried several basic ChangeFPS settings to decimate the redundant frames back to 23.976/film speed, but I always end up with skipped/duplicated frames. Any suggestions would be helpful.

So, a new book came out and we learned so much, and it is called, “Anguilosaurus, Killer of the Living”.

I'm not completely familiar with it, but is all you're looking for is a way to drop one duplicate frame out of 25? Is the source interlaced?

Yeah, pretty much. Yup, it's an interlaced transfer (It's TFM/Telecide compliant).

TDecimate can try to remove the dupes, but if your goal is more of a perfectionist/manual effort, I've sent a PM.

TDecimate with the proper adjustments is working fine so far, but if I encounter any difficulties I'll have method #2 as backup. Thanks for the advice!

You know, I'm starting to wondering if a project I'm working on is in this format.

I assumed it was a standard blended fields PAL video, but the run time is still shortened.

How do you identify this type of video? It still has blended fields, doesn't it?

Edit: Never mind, figured it out. For others who want to know the difference, apply bob to your video:

2:2:2:...:3 (aka 12:1 and 24:1) will show 11 clean fields in duplicates and then a field in triplicate. No blending.

Blended fields have slightly more than half of its fields blended (double image). Srestore is your best bet for this.

As far as the project I'm working on? I think Imdb has the runtime wrong.
