Thanks for the tip, the command you suggested does produce a good result. It still pauses on every 5 frame, but I think this may be a problem on the original video, as at the start there is some superimposed computer graphics and they move continuously, yet the background pauses.
I received this from another guy which may shed some light on my problem: <quote> The comb effect you're seeing is on the original video. Apparently, the footage used in the game was shot on film at 24 fps, then a 3:2 pulldown was done to create the 29.97 fps video used on the disc. So that look is actually correct. Of course, since computer monitors won't display interlaced frames properly, it looks weird. It should be possible to remove the field interlacing without reducing the total number of frames using Discreet's Cleaner software. I have used it to do in inverse telecine, and restore 29.97 material to 24 fps. But I'm sure there must be a way to just deinterlace it. For that matter, creating a half-resolution video file (from a full-resolution source) will result in blended frames, and would eliminate that look too. I've done that before. I'm not sure what final video resolution you're aiming at for MACH 3. When I discussed this with one of the DEVs before, it was suggested that matching the native resolution of MACH 3 would be a good starting point. With the new artwork system, I don't know if that's still the case. </quote> I can see how 24fps to 30fps would result in an "extra frame" to keep the same playback speed.
