What you want to do is use the field-repeat flags (like most commercial movie dvds do) to "soft" telecine the movie, so that only 24 pictures per second are stored, and the player shows each for the correct duration to give 30 "frames" per second.
Unfortunately, as far as I know mencoder can't do soft telecine. If you wait for mencoder-g2 it will work, but it won't exist for at least a month and might take much longer to become really usable. I would recommend just using a different program for this purpose, for the time being. :(
I currently have the same problem, an AVI at 23.976 fps which I want to encode to PAL or NTSC framerate. Is there the possibility to use mencoder to encode the video, and use some other tool to add these "field-repeat flags" to the MPEG2 stream afterwards ? (just using -ofps 25 or -ofps 29.97 gives me audio desync). Ciao Martin
