This is a most important filter. I thoroughly understand judder caused by hard-telecine. I understand pulldown. I simply seek clarification of the dejudder filter's behavior.

Re: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#dejudder

"If the original source was partially telecined content then the output of pullup,dejudder will have a variable frame rate."

What does the author mean by "pullup,dejudder"? That is: Why did the author jamb the words together separated by a comma? What is the author trying to 'say'? I suspect that "of pullup,dejudder" would best be left out of the text, but I can't know because the current text somewhat mystifies me due to errors in language usage.

"May change the recorded frame rate of the container."

Under what specific circumstances?
And (with tongue in cheek) how is the "recorded frame rate of the container" changed when the container is on a DVD-ROM? Should the sentence read: "Will change the frame rate of the output"?

"Aside from that change, this filter will not affect constant frame rate video."

Does that mean,
1, That the dejudder filter is ignored for CFR video (and can thereby be specified universally and indiscriminately)? or
2, That dejudder is incapable of changing CFR video?


In other words, why wouldn't I simply always specify "dejudder"?


Is anyone interested in pictures that visually display what telecine & pulldown are and what what they do? I have such pictures. They're very helpful and work much better than words.

Is anyone interested in me acting as a critical editor for ffmpeg documentation? I would function like a book editor by suggesting textual changes to improve English language usage and meaning. Of course, all suggestions would be subject to approval by the original authors. This is a serious offer. My qualifications are as a documentarian and as an electronic hardware engineer (retired). Simply put, I'd be another pair of eyes, eyes that care.

Regards,
Mark.
