You'll want 23.976.

Putting the clips on as 24P yourself, and letting the DVD player do the pulldown for you, is the much better way to go. You'll be encoding 25% less information, which lets you use a lower compression ratio to get better quality on the DVD.

This is AWSOME info Barry ! Thanks a lot !

23.976p, but usually the 24p template has droptime which does
that.

Frank: I'd say 24p, but I don't have a progressive player +
screen here, so I really don't know. Should be easy to do some
test yourself to see what works best!

Sadly ! I'm using Vegas 4.0 and it somehow can't save a 24p mainconcept mpeg2 file. I stutters !

Also DVD Architect 1.0 can't handle 24p mpeg2 files. it always wants to rsample it to 30i with pulldown.

Once I get my XL2 I'm going to get The latest Vegas + DVD package 5.0. Hope all the problems will be fixed then. I'll know more once I visit DVExpo this week ! :-)

I DO have a progressive DVD and a good projector. I have the hardware, but not the software yet ! :-)

Thanks for all the help though. I'm learning LOTS !

Vegas5+DVD can totally handle a pure 24P DVD production. On the DVX DVD I encoded some segments as 24P, and some as 60i (specifically the segments that showed 60i vs. 24P) and it did just great with all of it. Once you upgrade to Vegas 5+DVD you should be able to make 24P DVD's all day long.
