When authoring a DVD with 23.976fps video is it required for the video to have the 3:2 pull down flags? Or will the DVD player automatically do 3:2 pull down without the flags?

I work for a company who developed a small DVD authoring app, and we have a user complaining that our current code forces a transcode when supplied a 23.976 video. I'm looking into the possibility of allowing it to pass straight through, but the spec isn't 100% clear as to whether the pull down flags are required or not.

Does anyone know what the true requirements are?

Thanks,
Dan

Pull down flags are required.

Adding pulldown is not the same as transcoding.
