Converting to VCD. Most come out fine, but a recent batch are really whoopsy.

DVDx, the software that encodes to mpg and avi files, notes that a warning message will usually come up, but it's ok and 'not a problem': "Warning the output and input frame rate are not equal
Pull down (up) will be performed:"

Thanks. Now I see what causes the problems. Is there a correction? The recommended input settings are:
DeCSS - DeMacrovision; Audio Track - Dolby Surround, 48KHz to 44.1KHz - Normal Quality 48, Volume 3; Subtitle - None, Original colors; Misc - iDCT MMX(intel P2), Overlap (sec) 0, Audio/Video synchronisation is unchecked; Output Frame Rate - 29.97(NTSC), Detect progr. 24Hz and Force 24Hz are both checked.

The tutorial says the above settings are necessary to avoid problems.

I haven't tried checking the audio/video synchronisation box yet. Am I right in guessing that might solve my problems. Would I need to adjust anything else?
