I'm with DukeNuke - periodic reboots have advantages, and show up problems. We take our boxes down over long (3 day) weekends, so it works out to several times per year.

However, we have 400+ blade servers running eithe Linux or Windoze - those are rebooted monthly.

If your grumps have left a box up for several years, taking it down has a higher probability of exposing problems, so in that case leave it alone. May be more trouble than you want. Older boxes are slower anyway - it may be possible that 4 years on a really old UNIX box is the same number of cpu cycles as you see on a new Linux dualcore PC in one month.

NAME
yuvkineco - revert 2-3 pulldown movie SYNOPSIS
yuvkineco [options] [-C PATH] yuvkineco [options] -O|N PATH DESCRIPTION
yuvkineco reverts to original non-interlaced frames, from NTSC video which was film sourced and 2-3 pulled down. Input fps code must be 4(29.97fps), output fps code can be selected from 1(23.97fps) to 4(29.97fps). If 2, 3 or 4 selected, duplicated frames remain but they are reverted to non-interlaced. If input was non-interlaced only remove duplicate frames. Interlaced frame detection may fail in conditions like: Pull down cycle changed (video editing). Low quality pull down. Motionless scene. If -C PATH was specified, yuvkineco outputs 2-3 pull down cycle list to the file. You can edit this file by hand and feed it to yuvkineco with -O or -N option to correct mistake of 1st yuvkineco. Try -C and see cycle list. EXAMPLE #1: for 24p movie / automatically lav2yuv 60i.eli | yuvkineco -F 1 | yuv2lav -f a -I 0 -o 24p.avi EXAMPLE #2: for 30p/24p mix / automatically lav2yuv 60i.eli | yuvkineco -F 4 | yuv2lav -f a -I 0 -o 30p.avi EXAMPLE #3: for 24p movie / check and repair lav2yuv 60i.eli | yuvkineco -F 1 -C 60i.23c | yuv2lav -f a -I 1 -o take1.avi glav -F +n take1.avi # check and edit 60i.23c lav2yuv take1.avi | yuvkineco -F 1 -N 60i.23c | yuv2lav -f a -I 0 -o take2.avi EXAMPLE #4: for 24p movie / check and retry lav2yuv 60i.eli | yuvkineco -F 1 -C 60i.23c | yuv2lav -f a -I 0 -o take1.avi glav -F +n take1.avi # check and edit 60i.23c lav2yuv 60i.eli | yuvkineco -F 1 -O 60i.23c | yuv2lav -f a -I 0 -o take2.avi OPTIONS
yuvkineco accepts the following options: -F FPSCODE Set output fps code (default: same as input). -C PATH Specify 2-3 pull down cycle list file name to write. -O PATH Specify cycle list name to read with old yuv stream to retry. -N PATH Specify cycle list name to read with new yuv stream to repair. -S MIN Use yuvycsnoise(1) as preprocessor and specify minimum threshold. -n LEVEL Specify noise level of input (default: 10). This affects both pulldown cycle detection and deinterlacing. -c THRESHOLD Specify threshold to decide pictures in 2 frames are same (default: 4). yuvkineco compares several frames, searches pair of frame they contain same pictures, to decide which frame should be dropped. If THRESHOLD is 0, pair which has smallest difference will be selected. If 16, selected from pairs those have differences smaller than average. -i PERMIL yuvkineco deinterlaces each frame after 2-3 pulldown reverting process, specify how much pixels deinterlaced to decide to use or not use deinterlacing result (default: 10). If PERMIL is 10 and 1% or more of pixels deinterlaced, deinterlacing result will be used. If 0, always deinterlacing result will be used. If 1000, deinterlacing result will not be used, but deinterlacing process will run on all of frames. To disable deinterlacing process, specify negative value. -u Set interlace information in header of output to unknown (default: non-interlaced). AUTHOR
