DVD video encoding is normally not stable. In other words: There may be some passages where pulldown could technically be removed, but most often there are other passages in the stream where it's not possible or where removing pulldown would even result in a worse stream. So eac3to does not even try to remove pulldown from any SD sources. If you see eac3to listing a DVD as "480p with pulldown flags" you can try using "-stripPulldown", but most probably processing will not run through successfully.

DVD file structure is not supported yet. You have to manually tell eac3to which VOBs to handle. And you shouldn't feed seamless branching or multi angle DVDs to eac3to cause those aren't handled correctly yet. Full DVD structure support might come in a later version (or not).
