This is likely real video- 50 unique frames per second from the cameras. Modern cameras can do 50p, not limited to 25i anymore (pros don't typically use post-interpolation as it takes too long)

Demux with gMKVExtractGUI 2.1.0.0 (MKVToolNix 9.6.0) to make:
gnrg2023_track1_und.hevc
gnrg2023_track2_eng_DELAY 12ms.aac

Run DGIndexNV.exe with gnrg2023_track1_und.hevc to create gnrg2023_track1_und.dgi.

This is a rare case where only one Avisynth script file was needed (when using TVEAI, 2 are needed for pre and post processing). .avs script files are created with any text editor (Notepad).

Note the use of DPID to downsize. This is an intelligent resizer that doesn't toss detail when downscaling (unlike the others). It uses a crapload of CPU. Multi-instance is a must.

Tweak, CAS, and vsMSharpen were not used (the "#" marks a comment). They are sometimes needed when working with TVEAI and DVD video.

It's compressing now at about 12fps.. I'll see how it looks tomorrow.
