--convert-fps 24p,24p (that should not convert anything)...
No.
The BDN XML file must be compatible with Scenarist and other BD tools. The timings in a BDN XML file are really frame counts and non-drop. The syntax for the timings is HH:MM:SS:FF, where FF = frames.
So in the case of input fps=23.976, the timings are given in the BDN XML file as if the frame rate was 24 fps. That is what BDSup2Sub generates with --convert-fps 24p,24p. Otherwise Scenarist will reject the xml file. Other tools such as avs2bdnxml, MaestroBDSubs do the same. Reason is compatibility.
Now I understand why the .3dp file must be processed as 24 fps.
Very confusing...
