Here are my thoughts on what frame-rate conversion should do in DVD-o-matic
* 23.976fps or 24fps -> 25fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with
selectable quality.
* 25fps -> 24fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with selectable
quality.
* 50i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters: linear blend, motion
compensate etc. Then consider 24fps or 25fps destination as above.
Optionally, bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 48p or 50p film.
* 59.94i or 60i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters, for example
Bob, linear blend Suggest 30fps as destination since a proper inverse
telecine requires manual work and should be done in another program. A
selectable inverse telecine can save someones day, but be warned... Again,
bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 60p film. Audio resampling
when required, with selectable quality.
Never add or drop frames unless inverse telecining.
Audio stretching without changing pitch in my ears is a pain to get right,
so should be done in a controlled fashion, not automatically. But it won't
hurt (much) to have an option, right?
A lot (most?) of Swedish DVD-releases from film does a simple 24fps ->
25fps speed-up of video with simple, high-quality resampling of the audio.
Not many people notice the pitch-error.
