Thanks for that clarification. Yes, all the frames are encoded as frames. No fields.
So, DVD FAQ #3.4:
http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html#3.4
where it says: "MPEG-2 progressive_sequence is not allowed"
Can we debunk this FOR CERTAIN?
Also:
"In the case of 24 fps source, the encoder embeds MPEG-2 repeat_first_field flags into the video stream to make the decoder either perform 2-3 pulldown for 60Hz NTSC displays (actually 59.94Hz) or 2-2 pulldown (with resulting 4% speedup) for 50Hz PAL/SECAM displays"
Can we lay this to rest, at least for PAL?
