Abstract: In this paper we detail the configuration of the Warner Brothers' Compression Facility at California Video Center, and outline the individual steps in our MPEG mastering process. We address the importance of the inverse telecine and pre-processing steps. We discuss the challenge of achieving smooth looking 24 fps output from source tapes that have embedded SMPTE A Frame pattern disruptions. A novel technique is described for detecting and logging the SMPTE A Frame sequence into an edit decision list. The issue of having to chose between pitch accuracy and motion smoothness is raised and we present our position that the most important aspect of the original film is the motion content.
