I'm interested in your inverse telecine filter (sorry probably i wrote it
wrong, it's vf_ivtc not vf_detc... btw these filter names are getting
very cryptics nowdays), the one which reads 5 frames and outputs 4, with
different timings.

I'll probably write a filter which does the same as current inv-telecine
hack of mplayer, which handles the mpeg flags (detects 24fps-coded but
29.97fps-in-header media), should be very easy.

Btw, you need to mess with duration, not with timestamps!
Just drop timestamp for all frames you alter, it's used only for A-V
_correction_ (fixing A-V in broken streams), and anyway most DVDs have
only one timestamp for each GOP, ie. only for I frames.

Also, altering duration is much easier than playing with timestamps, and for
containers having duration or fixed fps, it's preferred by timing code over
pts. Look at ported vf_tfields for sample.
