I have just read through the discussion(s) regarding the reverse telecine filter that Richard is working on. This is cool. But it brings up an issue. In general, reverse telecineing hard telecined material and the ofps adjustment that is done for soft telecined materal are good, if for nothing else, bitrate savings. But what if my output device has a fixed display rate, like a television for instance? I would in that case, when playing back the 24fps material, want to display it with a 3:2 pulldown. Can MPlayer do this (yet)? This need for a 3:2 pulldown on 24fps material almost needs to be automatically detected and employed though. I could have serveral files I want to play, some that really are (recorded at) 59.94 fields/s and some that are 24 frames/s. I don't want to have to manually inspect each file prior to playing it to see if I need to enable (i.e. with command line switches) the 3:2 pulldown. It could be perhaps that if -ofps=29.97[1] and the input is 24 frames/s, 3:2 pulldown is automatically enabled. [1] or even better, an mnemonic like "ntsc" (-ofps=ntsc) so that one could play 24 frames/s video at 29.97 without 3:2 pulldown by specfying 29.97 rather than the "ntsc" mnemonic) Thots? b. -- Brian J.
