23.976fps, 352x240 NTSC(film) VCD on DVD - Is It Possible?

[Supremus]

I am trying to put a lot of VCD files onto DVD using DVDit. The VCD files are 23.976fps, 352x240 NTSC(film).

My problem is that DVDit doesn't seem to want to recognise the files as NTSC, and refuses to import them.

Running pulldown.exe on the files doesn't help either, although this works with files that are 352x480.

Does anybody have any ideas if it is possible to use 23.976 352x240 with DVDit, or any other DVD authoring software for that matter, and if so, how?

Thanks

recode the audio to 48kHz, i don't now if you can put VCD on DVD with DVDit.

Unless theres some new technique in the pipeline I dont know about, you wont be able to import NTSCfilm MPEG-1 (23.976fps) into any standard DVD project because the DVD spec only supports two frame rates: 25 and 29.97.

The audio is not a problem, as I have already converted it to a seperate AC3 file. I have no problems with PAL(25fps) or NTSC(29.976fps) VCD files, only the NTSC(23.976fps) variety.

You're probably right. I have been searching everywhere for info on this, and I haven't been able to find anything that points to 23.976fps being possible. The closest seems to be MPEG2 352x480, but I don't particularly feel like converting all my VCDs to this format.
