I have personal project to enhance old, stopped from TV and out of print cartoons on my native language. I have huge collection of PAL DVDs that I’ve ripped on HDD. One of my main concerns is how to ride off from duplicate frames. There is duplicate frame remover 3 but it is plug-in for After Effects. I prefer, if possible, to not use Adobe products because the subscription plan is expensive and I don’t find value if I use it for only one or two functions. So is there duplicate frame remover that is standalone app? The second my concern is… what is telecine? TVAI have input setting for telecine video. I checked this for one random DVD rip but the results are weird. There is some kind of ghosting/overlaying between two frames. Aside from TVAI I think to get Vegas pro for video editing stuff. There is deinterlacing feature but I didn’t find duplicate frame remover. In export settings you have to choose frame rate. If I choose 24 fps, is that removing the 25th frame which is duplicated? I have the same question about TVAI (in telecine input option Topaz Video automatically transcoded video to 24 fps).
For 98% of DVDs that I own, using the ‘rate’ filter (-r) in ffmpeg works perfectly. It just drops frames to whatever you say the original frame rate was.
