Framerate Question

[bigkromedogg]

I recently received a football game on DVD. When I played the disc in my PC, the DVD software said that the framerate was 29.97. But when I played it on any DVD player, including the PC, the framerate looked much slower. It has that unmistakable "film" look. The true framerate is undoubtedly 23.976 or somewhere near there. Is there anything I can do to convert the video back? I want it to look live, rather than having the movie effect quality.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Open one of the VOBs in G-Spot 2.60 to confirm how this disc was encoded.

That said, even if it is encoded as 23.976 fps, unless you are watching it on a progressive capable TV, you will be seeing it at 29.97 fps, and re-encoding it won't make it look any more lively. It will, in fact, reduce the quality, and make it look jerky and stilted as the re-encoding will have to create the missing frames. You TV does this on the fly, and does a much better job than you can do in software.

No offense, but it's all in your head.
