I've seen this in my transcoding work. Some stations are horrible.
Here in Boston the "WB" (WLVI) was a pain to get any sort of IVTC work
done on, sometimes requiring manually going through hundreds of frames
to manually select the correct ones for removal.
CBS here is great though, absolutely perfect telecine, so nice to work with =D


I've noticed in pausing material from my PVR-150 that upon unpausing
the sync detection gets the frame order backwards, requireing manually
overiding the setting. Is this something I should post to TRAC? I
don't really know how to debug such a thing if noone else sees it
occuring.
