Star Trek Hybrid Challenge!

The Star Trek series is notoriously difficult to encode due to its hybrid content (mixed progressive 30fps/progressive 24fps/video). With a view to stimulating creative thinking about how to deal with hybrid material I have posted this challenge, which will remain sticky until the conclusion.

Here is the source VOB contributed by MrBunny (right click and Save As):

My humble attempt at encoding is here (right click and Save As):

or
http://shelob.mordor.net/dgraft/misc/trekdivx5.avi
or
http://shelob.mordor.net/dgraft/misc/trek.mpg

The challenge of course is to make the best encode at 23.976. The chief criterion is the smoothness of the film and video segments. Please post your entries here.

At the end we will all reveal our methods. Have fun!
