From the DVD9toDVD5 full copy there's this section about pulldown.exe

"First, use the following command line:
Pulldown project.mpv output.m2v –prog_frames p
then use this one…
Pulldown project.mpv output-drop.m2v –prog_frames p –drop_frame true
You will now have a “output.m2v” file and a “output-drop.m2v” file that can be imported into Maestro."

I have always done all my "progressive" movies with the command line
"pulldown input.mpv output.m2v"
I don't use any switches with the statement. Am I doing it all wrong?

i believe those first two simply make it drop frame, which i know u can do that before you add your m2v to scenarist or u select it in scenarist to make it drop frame..either way it works..u arent doing anything wrong..u are using maestro which i dont use..i would use the drop frame pulldown cmd line since i know my files need to be in drop fram in scenarist i assume maestro is the same..give it a whirl sorry i cant help much.later
