[RESOLVED] Method/filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
Hi all,
I've probably missed something obvious but is there a method or filter that will enable me to remove "hard coded" repeat/duplicate frames from 50fps sources. Such as can be found in this sample: http://www.mediafire.com/?69xxlsttb36759g
Cheers

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
The obvious thing is Decimate(2) or SelectEven() in Avisynth.
Are you looking for a VirtalDub filter for that?

EDIT: Something that offers simplified options along the same lines as the IVTC plug-in would be handy.
Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
Use this:
Video/Frame rate.../Frame rate conversion/Process every other frame (decimate by 2)
The latest filter SDK supports dropping frames so it would be possible now to make an adaptive Decimate filter, but the above built-in function should be fine for this application.

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
I actually tried the "Process every other frame (decimate by 2)" option but it does not seem to work with v1.10.0 (Build 33848). Are you able to make it work?
Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
No I haven't tried 1.10.0, which is still "experimental". I suggest that you followup at the VirtualDub forum if you have found something broken in 1.10.0.

Bummer...
I've just tried VirtualDub versions 1.9.9, 1.9.10 and 1.9.11 and their decimate options don't seem to work with the sample I provided either!

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
How are you loading that sample into VirtualDub?

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
I'm dragging and dropping the elementary .M2V file directly into VirtualDub.
The .M2V file opens okay and VirtualDub correctly recognises the files properties. I'm at a loss!

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
You must be using fccHandler's MPEG2 plugin.
I loaded it in 1.9.11 and set decimate by 2. I did Save as AVI and reloaded the resulting AVI. It was properly decimated.
The decimation does not take effect on preview, only on Save as AVI.

Re: Method or filter to remove hard-coded repeat frames
I see... I was not expecting the decimate option to function like that.neuron2 wrote:the decimation does not take effect on preview, only on Save as AVI.
I am however happy to confirm that the repeat/duplicate frames have been dropped on the "save.AVI" output.
Thanks for your help

You're welcome. Marking resolved.
