Telecine is a process for transfering film to NTSC video tape (because 
NTSC is Stupid). It refers to the physical process of getting the image 
from the film as well as the process of getting the 24fps film into 
29.997fps(60field) NTSC format. (which never really works out as well 
as you would like)

Inverse Telecine reverses that same process.

Though generally when people talk about such things they just mean the 
frame rate conversion.
