Film look using framerate

[misery]

Hi!
I'm interested in creating a film-look from a video source to be outputted to VHS (vcr)/DV (s-video in on camera).
Which one do you think would look better?
Should I:
1) Capture the video at 23.976 and output to tape with the same framerate

2) Capture at 23.976, use Tmpegenc to perform a 3:2 pulldown, thereby making the video 29.97 fps

3) Capture at 29.97, use Tmpegenc to perform inverse telecine, thereby making the video 23.976 fps

4) Capture at 29.97, use another program to perform inverse telecine

I'm not sure if (1) will transfer well to video since it will be recording at 29.97 fps
but I'm not sure if any framerate conversion (2) and (3) will make the sound out of sync

Thanks for your help!

Hmm, that rings a bell. I think I've seen a filter that is supposed to do exactly what your asking, but I'm blowed if I can remember where. I think it's likely to be one of the built-ins with either VS4 or VWIII. Can anyone else help out here ?

I remember a standalone app called FilmRender that was discussed here for a few days last year. Don't remember anything about its features though. Suggest you run a search in this forum and look up FilmRender. I am almost sure it was one word.

FilmRender did this nicely. However some crackers got the codes for it and the author pulled it from the net in anger after his registrations dried up. He won't communicate unless you're a registered user.

A shame. It was an excellent and cheap-for-what-it-did product. It had the potential to be one of those programs with a utility level similar to AVI_IO's.
