Which is recommended .....for TMPGenc encoding.

rencode a progressive film clip at 23.98fps and then run pulldown to up fos to 29.97....
Or rencode at noninterlace 29.97 to begin with?

I notice that after doing each ...DVD2AVI playback shows the 3:2 pulldown clip as flickering between interlace & progressive FILM, while it shows the Interlace/29.97 clip as PROGRESSIVE NTSC.

These results have me a bit confused as to which is the better clip for the video source in authoring.
By the way ...any thoughts on how I can remove interlacing altogether ...ie. convert the fields in a frame to a single motion blurred frame ...no fields....similar to how Premiere does flicker removal on a clip?
I find that motion blur looks a lot better in animated clips rather than introducing fields via 3:2 pulldown.
I have done about 300 animated lightwave 3D TV commercials (modeled& layout, lit & rendered with audio sync) and motion blur is cleaner.

Is there no one in this forum that can answer this question ...?

1)Tmpgenc at 23.976fps and then run pulldown.exe to get 29.97fps and then author.

or
2) Use 29.97 FPS with Noninterlace ....and forget abt pulldown 3:2 afterwards?
