Canon AVCHD 24p Pulldown Removal

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

Pulldown removal is always a pain in the butt (admit it). And until recently, removing pulldown from the AVCHD Canon cameras was more difficult and error-prone than for the HV20. So, last night I sat down until 4 AM and researched the matter and have found a free solution to the problem. Testing is required, I am mostly interested if A/V always stays in good sync and if MEncoder can handle really large files (my own test files were not huge): http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/2008/01/04/canon-avchd-24p-pulldown-removal/

WOW, that seems like a lot of work, just to convert files.

I use cineform Aspect HD, and it removes the pulldown.
I am still looing for a more simple solution, but not finding anything.

To me, the AVCHD is lacking in color fidelity, so I would want to convert it to something I could first bump up the color a bit.

My workflow is convert to aspect HD and take out pull down.
Then edit in premiere
Then output to final format. If going to web, I have to first output to WMV and then to flash for vimeo.

Thanks for your tutorials though, they are very good, but for me, too complicated to replace how I have been doing it (although I want to).

Hello. I'm new to DVXUser but I follow the discussions here for quite some time. I recently bought a HF100 and I'm using this tutorial to remove the pulldown on my 24p movies. I'm seeing a weird de-interlace problem with a new footage where there's a huge contrast between two colors (in this particular case, white and red). I'm posting a picture to illustrate my problem. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but I have double checked everything and it is exactly like the tutorial. Has anyone seem anything similar to this? Thank you.
