Here is a more thorough description of the two pass mode of vf_divtc
for the manpage. Not necessarily easier to understand, but hopefully
harder to misunderstand.

This filter is intended to find and drop those duplicates and restore the
original film framerate.
When using this filter, you must specify \-ofps that is 4/\:5 of the fps of the

+Two different modes are available:
+One pass mode is the default and is straightforward to use, but has the
+disadvantage that any changes in the telecine phase (lost frames or bad
+edits) cause momentary judder until the filter can resync again.
+Two pass mode avoids this by analyzing the whole video beforehand so it
+will have forward knowledge about the phase changes and can resync at the
+exact spot.

+You must run an extra pass using divtc pass one before the actual encoding

+Use \-nosound \-ovc raw \-o /dev/null to avoid wasting cpu power for this pass.
+You may add something like crop=2:2:0:0 after divtc to speed things up even
+more.
+Then use divtc pass two for the actual encoding.
+If you use multiple encoder passes, use divtc pass two for all of them.
The options are:
.RSs
.IPs pass=1|2
Use two pass mode.
-This produces best results.
-Pass one analyzes the video and writes the results to a log file.
-Pass two then reads this log file and uses the information to do
-the actual work.
-Note that these passes do
-.B not
-correspond to pass one and two of the encoding process.
-In order to use divtc two pass with two pass video encoding, you must perform
-three passes: first divtc pass one and encoder pass one, then divtc pass two
-and encoder pass one, and finally divtc pass two and encoder pass two.
.IPs file=<filename>
Set the two pass log filename (default: "framediff.log").
