Reverse telecine
Some DVD players, line doublers, and personal video recorders are designed to detect and remove 2:3 pulldown from telecined video sources, thereby reconstructing the original 24 frame/s film frames. Many video editing programs, such as AviSynth, also have this ability. This technique is known as reverse telecine, inverse telecine (IVTC), reverse pulldown or detelecine. Benefits of reverse telecine include high-quality non-interlaced display on compatible display devices and the elimination of redundant data.
