Abstract

A method of converting video data to film data may include deinterlacing video data from a first field and a third field to produce first field video data, providing second field video data, and merging the first field video data and the second field video data to produce first frame video data. The method may further include copying video data from a fourth field and a fifth field to produce second frame video data. An apparatus for converting video data to film data may include a first deinterlacer for deinterlacing video data from a first field and a third field to produce first field video data and a copy module for providing second field video data and merging the first field video data and the second field video data to produce first frame video data.
