I have a PAL DVD of John Woo's Bullet in the Head that I extracted in MakeMKV and want to take the MPEG-2 file for the feature film and convert it from 25 to 23.976 fps. The 25 is a CFR. Hybrid initially deciphered it as a telecine and then changed the input scan type to TFF. I am pretty sure that the entire transfer is interlaced.
There are probably a couple ways I could go about the conversion. Within Vapoursynth, I could select TFF as the input scan and under QTGMC check "Bob". For the Preset, I could choose Placebo for best quality. (I have a really fast computer and don't mind waiting anyway.) Then under the Reduction sub-tab under Frame tab, check sRestore. I wonder if I should also check "bob before"?
The alternative would be to treat it as a telecine (since it was transferred from celluloid) and execute a TIVTC with Mode 2 selected and 23.976 as the target frame rate.
After the conversion, I want to resize it from 720x576 to 1280x720.
But first things first. Your suggestions are most welcome.
