Right.

Yeah, I just made one in TMPGenc (link below.)

I tried making some 29.97 ones and finally got one into Encore without 
it wanting to transcode;  Seems I have to specify -aspect 16:9 or 
-aspect 4:3 as without it I was getting 3:2:

ffmpeg -i 23.98fps.avi -target ntsc-dvd -g 12 -bf 2 -aspect 16:9 Out.mpg

However I still can't get a 23.98 one to work yet.

Here's a sample 23.98 mpeg-2 that Encore accepts without wanting to 
re-transcode:
