I've been asked to transfer old 16mm film to DVD. Unfortunately, the
first step is out of my control, and probably less-than-optimum: the
16mm film was simply projected (via ground glass) into a miniDV camera.
So...
(1) There's very bad red-shift (because of the age of the 16mm print),
which we can try to balance out but sometimes drives the camera beyond
its dynamic range.
(2) Bigger problem: the projector runs at 24fps, and the camera at 29.97
(interlaced). As you expect:
(a) Extreme flicker, 6 times per second;
(b) Many frames are badly 'combed'.
I've tried various combinations of plug-ins (Inverse Telecine,
Deinterlace, Decimate, Field-to-Frame), but am not happy.
Is there a best practice that one can recommend for this situation
(other than 'reshoot at the right frame rate')?
Thanks!
