Hello, this is my first post on this list and in fact I joined the list to propose a feature. Lately, LCD TV sets have appeared that calculate intermediate images from 24p and other sources in order to reduce bucking of fast moving object or pan shots. This results then in 100 or now even 200 fps signals. It is a matter of taste if you like those kind of TV sets, because the visual appearance of the material is strongly altered. Anyway, a lot of people actually prefer this mode of view. TFTs usually connected to a computer run somewhere between 60 Hz and 100 Hz. Thus, also movie playback on a computer could benefit from the insertion of intermediate images. In contrast to the TV, where this is done in hardware, a modern PC should be powerful enough to do this in software, at least for non-HD material. Thus, I suggest the development of a plugin for mplayer that calculates and inserts intermediate images "on the fly" during playback, resulting in a frame rate adapted to the TFTs individual horizontal frequency, or at least resulting in 48 fps from 24 fps cinema material. I would actually be willing to "pay" for such a feature in the form of a donation to the mplayer team, should it be implemented in satisfying quality. I hope others would follow. Please, tell me what you think!
