3:2 pulldown detection, panscan, letter box hint in CCE 2.67.

[rs008f]

I want to convert a 23.976 fps progressive avi(Xvid/Divx) video to DVD MPEG-2.
Should I check 3:2 pulldown detection?
If the avi video is 4:3, should I check Panscan?
If the avi video is 16:9. should I check Letter box hint?

I check my orignal MPEG-2 elementary video with RESTREAM and it states under "Field coded"
tff-flag: ++++++++++++++
Top fields: IBPBBPBBPBBPBBPBP
Bottom fields:
bff-flag:
After running a pulldown using pulldown.exe, the field order becomes
tff-flag: ++ ++ ++ ++
Top fields: IB BP PB BP
Bottom fields: PB BB BP
bff-flag: -- -- --

Is it supposed to change the field order?

1) No. This is only intended for reencoding streams that already had a 3:2 pulldown applied to it. AVIs can't have 3:2 pulldown applied, AFAIK.

2 and 3) No. Also, AVIs cannot be anamorphic AFAIK (this is what 16:9 actually means). I'd suggest you get FitCD (http://www.sysh.net/), load your AVI into FitCD, adjust settings and use the AVISynth script it generates for you.
