fine, someone who will finally test the new soft-telecine code:)
You need mencoder from cvs; the commands are:

for 24->25 and 23.976->25:

$ mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:film2pal

for 24->30 and for 23.976->29.97:
$ mencoder -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:telecine

this way no framerate conversion will take place.
If the source isn't strictly progressive the telecining process will abort.

Please, let me know if/how it works.
