Hi-

what's the best way to encode this?

Not having ever worked with Futurama, I'd say to make your D2V at 29.97fps, and then IVTC it. What's the FILM percentage at the bottom of the D2V? If low or 0.00%, then IVTC. If 100% FILM, or close to it, then ForceFILM, but I doubt it's that easy.

Using Mode=2 inside of Decimate is usually a good idea when encoding animation. Read the Decomb manual for more information.
