Certainly, no problem. If you're making a compilation, you might want to 
ask Rich too; I'm sure he's seen some more.

Also, If you talk about telecine, you might want to use 60000/1001 
instead of 59.97, 30000/1001 instead of 29.97, and 24000/1001 instead of 
23.976. I don't know if transcode can use franctional framerate values, 
but the fractions are the actual NTSC framerates, whereas the decimals 
are approximations.

I explain why in a not-yet-applied patch to the mencoder documentation:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-docs/2005-March/004874.html

I just uploaded a patched version to my server for you:
http://fatooh.org/files/menc-feat-telecine.html
Don't make any permanent links to it, though; I'll delete that file when 
(if) my patch gets applied.
