No, as the inverse telecine process is (while theoretically perfect) in general not 100% accurate, it needs user interaction (actually the decision which filter should be used). > Or does the user need to specify the detelecine filter > (ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#detelecine)? This is one of three inverse telecine filters: It can only be used for absolutely perfect input that contains no deviations in the telecine rhythm: Such content is very rare, therefore this filter can only be used after (or before) careful visual inspection of the whole input (or if you know the input because you created it yourself). It cannot be used for dvb input, it can definitely not be used for every dvd. Additionally, it needs trial-and-error for the sequence start. You have already mentioned one alternative, the pullup filter which originated a long time ago in the MPlayer project. The third (and possibly most sophisticated) filter to invert the telecine process is the fieldmatch filter, see its documentation for more information. A few possibly unrelated and useless comments: I don’t think you mentioned before this message that you actually want to inverse telecine. I suspect we would both have saved some time if you had. Some of the video engineers who come here for very specific questions that are very difficult to understand have their knowledge from the analog (video) world. Since FFmpeg does not deal with analog video, most assumptions do not hold.
