Hi buzz86,

BEWARE
Some (most?) TV shows are shot VIDEO, and not FILM.
You have to make sure your DVDs are 23.976.
You can find this out quickly with DVD2AVI, and running a preview (F5).
If after running for about a minute or so it displays >= 95%, then you can set "Force FILM", and proceed.
If not, then you have a 29.97fps video.
