Telecide Will Kill Your Children

It was recently pointed out to me that Certain Content Authoring Communities are still living in the dark ages. I occasionally speak to someone who writes their ‘guides’ but really it’s about time things were updated, especially to be clearer on The PAL Situation. Long ago in the bleak days of everything being shit, Donald Graft wrote his Telecide filter, a filter for performing Inverse Telecine. For those familiar, IVTC requires both field matching and decimation of resulting duplicate frames. Telecide is the field matcher.

While speaking to a friend named Vincent, I discovered that a video he was showing me was a little jerky, so I took a look. It was quickly apparent that every 5th frame was a duplicate. A classic sign of field matching without decimation. So I said “Hey Vincent, what the fuck did you do?” to which he replied “Oh I just followed the guide on the .org, it says just use telecide().” He was quickly informed of a longer filterchain to use which included decimation, however this had me a bit worried.

Tritical’s excellent field matcher and decimation filters (TFM+TDecimate) were written years ago and are effectively the standards inside the non-shit open source video editing crowds. I still use telecide myself for specific reasons at times however for blind IVTC it’s mostly useless. I couldn’t comprehend why people were still using it, and then it hit me. ‘AMV Editors’ are fucking retarded and have no clue as to what they are doing in the slightest. Every last one of them. Learn to RTFM guys, it’s not hard.

tl;dr amvfags suck cocks and can’t encode for shit, everyone go use TFM+TDecimate now k <3

    FYI: Oro is just a faggot. AMV guide goes “properly” through this with tfm+tdecimate.

    Not many options are spoken over, but it’s better than nothing.

    I quickly read over that again and it’s still out of date. A lot of the advice in it doesn’t even work as the author intended. I really need to get my video tutes done hurr.

    NB: Nice Yomogi avatar :O
