I also noticed that when I dropped in the 24p footages (from the DVX camera) on a 29.97 timeline in Premiere and then sent to Encore as 29.97, the final DVD runs smoother, much like real movies on DVDs.
I am guessing that by dropping the DVX’s 24p footages (which are actually 29.97) in the 29.97 timeline, the pull-down is not removed, providing smoothness to the video. And since there has been no change in the original video (since the pulldown is intact), then video will not speed up nor down, maintaining the original speed and length.
What do you guys think?
