• Offers an option to modify the input file instead of creating a new output file

This program takes a progressive MPEG2 video elementary stream, and applies pulldown flags to change it to a higher legal MPEG2 output frame rate. It also allows changing/correction of timecodes.

DGPulldown is useful for applying traditional 3:2 pulldown. It is also useful for converting 25fps PAL progressive material to NTSC. It allows you to encode your movie to MPEG2 at 25fps using progressive encoding. This saves a lot of bits and therefore allows for much better quality with the same bit budget. Also, compared to methods that first slow down the video and then apply 3:2 pulldown, there is no need to process the audio.
