        Actually they run the film projector .1% slow to get 24000/1001 and
        then run a 3:2 pulldown on that to get 30000/1001.  At least that's
        how I've had it explained to me.

        Thanks for chiming in. 

        Hmmm, you interested in becoming a mjpegtools developer?  We could
        use some new ideas/code, etc :-)

        But I think you are conflating 3:2 pulldown and interlacing.  They're
        not necessarily _both_ needed.  The repeat first field, etc is
        needed so that a progressive scan DVD player (coupled to a progressive
        scan TV set of course) can reconstruct the progressive frames

        And the DVD Demystified site at http://www.dvddemystified.com is
        a good read too.
