May be it's originally a 13 fps material that has been made into a 30
fps.

Videoscope (freeware) allows you to know about duplicate frames.
http://www.dynapel.com/products/vs_overview.shtml

And MotionPerfect (also from Dynapel, and not freeware) is
sophisticated software to change the frames per second.

Perhaps you can try 23,976 fps (NTSC film).

Thanks for the info about Dynapel.
I'll check it out.

It's strange. It occurred to me also that perhaps it was sourced
from 13 fps material, but what's unusual is that the AVI is
640*480 and good quality (except for the fps !)

I downloaded the trial, it installed OK.
But when I tried it on anumber of source AVI files,
the product kept crashing in file
mediamend.ax, one of motionperfects dshow filters.

I got absolutely nowhere, so I uninstalled.
I can contact the web site in case there's a
KB or suport forum.
Any other similar products?
