I tried another movie (Hellboy) and it showed up as 23.976 in premiere (again, it is 29.97 in all other programs).
So this sounds like nothing more than an import issue.
I feel it would be much simpler to just use avi conversion, however as i previously stated, it speeds up the clip (video only) and then is just a repeating frame with the original audio from the clip.
To keep it simple, how do I get rid of that issue with the avi. I have concluded that the VOB may not be worth the effort.
