    Hi, Arpi!

Sometime (on Sunday, February 16 at 14:31) I've received something...

>isn't -vop dint the same? afair it was written for the same purpose.

    Nope. -vop dint doesn't drop frames by any count and cannot detect
duplicate frames - it drops frame only if the frame is interlaced more
than some threshold value. It has nothing to do with frame count nor with
duplicates.

    With best wishes.
