Xvid 23.976 to DVD NTSC 29.97 Problem

[hazmat42]

I guess I'll put my flame retardant gear on for this one (although I am in the newbie section). Anyway, here goes:

I recently converted a xvid video with a 23.976 framerate, AC3 audio, and a running time of 126 minutes to DVD NTSC, with a frame rate of 29.97, using TMPGEnc's wizard. Nothing fancy, just used the NTSC template. After authoring my mpeg-2 file and audio, I got a DVD that is now 101 minutes! Because of this, the time won't play properly on my DVD player. Why is the time screwed up? Is there any way to fix this? Can I fix this without reencoding? Can I fix it in the authoring process?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I did my last 34 anime episodes using a frame rate of 29.97 when I should have used 23.97. I hardly noticed it, and it was only obvious if there was a slow panning (the motion was a bit jerky). So I don't think the frame rate is causing your time to differ.
