Awesome, Thank you. Just to be sure I am clear, I have a sample video, that
says it is 30000/1001, but I believe it is telecined. If i re-encode it at
3000/1001 (deinterlaced) it is choppy when the scene pans across, or
something similar. However if I specify 24000/1001 it is much smoother. I
was thinking of using GDIndex to create and then parse a d2v file to see if
it could tell me more about the nature of the clip (It's an MPEG2 transport
stream.) Any other advice on how to deal with that problem?

I have already switched accounts, however it is fine for me to e-mail non
work persons from work, the addendum is added to everyone blanket style, for
the unlikely event that what they are sending is confidential  (Deliberatly
or otherwise)  We call it crap here, but it is pretty much an audit
requirement for any big corp now adays. It's not like my company is trying
to piss anybody off (And more importantly, not like _I_ am trying to piss
anybody off) it is just a part of business. I'm not really fond of the
necessity, but I don't take it personally either.

BTW, please don't top-post either.


Define top-post. Does that mean answering at the top of the e-mail instead
of the body or below? If it is considered bad etiquet I'll be happy not to.
