My plan: to join killbill JAP uncut and killbill 2 (both NTSC) and make fit on to one dvd.(using AVS script + CCE)
now the first question i have is, If one is >95% film and the other not will this matter when joining on to a dvd? i have thoughts in both directions lol. but i am thinknig that it will probably not matter?

i have access to Scenarist and other software, but want to make sure i can do everything i want to, before bothering the people :D .
i will be using the subs from here : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74869

Just want to make sure that i can do this.

It shouldn't matter. You will encode the FILM at 23.976 (24fps) and perform 2:3 pulldown. I use this command line with pulldown.exe: pulldown movie1.mpv movie1.m2v

I assume the 23.976fps movie is progressive and the 29.97fps movie is interlaced.

So if you use ConvertToYUY2() in your AVS script, you will probably want to use ConvertToYUY2(interlace=true) for the 29.97 movie.

Also, in CCE, in the "Quality" settings, select "Zizag" and check "Progressive frame flag" for the 24fps movie and select "Alternate" and CLEAR the "Progressive frame flag" for the 30fps movie.

Then you should have 2 elementary streams: movie1.m2v and movie2.mpv.

When you bring the assets into Scenarist, for the "Drop Type", make sure you specify "Drop frame" for the interlaced 29.97fps clip (movie2.mpv) and "Non-drop frame" for the 23.976fps clip (movie.m2v).

So...you can create two totally different tracks and I would put them in two different title sets with a title menu.
(Of course you will have to calculate the total length of both clips so you can use the correct bitrate when encoding (quite low I suppose))
