Regarding replying off list: 
I didn't notice that the reply address to this list was the original
poster and not to the list. From now on, i will make sure to send to
the proper list address.

I didnt think avi, which was the original posters output format,
supported this framerate semantic. so far have only known that MPEG
transport streams supported this.

I was referring to my method of properly inverse-telecine'ing a mixed
mode mpeg2, that switches from progressive 24000/1001 to hard-telecine
30000/1001 video. (which when the original source was 24fps 35mm FILM
this is a poor authoring job by the original studio)
Its given me good quality with very few if any incorrectly reassembled
frames on the output.
