Response to How does video get transfered to film?

Royal Garden Post offers PAL DV to 35mm or 16mm transfer via a Solitaire Cine II film recorder for $0.25 frame plus stock and processing. This comes to $427 a minute for anything long enough to exceed lab minimums. I have also put a fair amount of effort into figuring out a better way to do the frame rate conversion from NTSC to 24fps and am currently using a method which looks for motion by detecing differences between interpolated fields and blends fields together in the frames only in the areas where there is motion. This leaves the full resolution of the original video frames wherever there is no motion in the frame. I hope to have a demo reel available soon. Please check out my website at www.rgpost.com. Has anyone seen any video which was frame rate converted using the ReTimer software from RealViz? It may be able to do something comparable to a Snell & Wilcox motion compensated frame rate converter. I am trying to do a test with it and will post
