Encoding a DVD

[RevyJay]

Hello.
O.k. I've posted this same question about three months ago, and no one could help me with this, so I'm hoping this time people will have more information that may help me.

I'm trying to encode a movie that contains both Interlaced and Progressive frames in it. I'm kind-of a perfectionist when I encode movies, so this becomes a problem when I try to encode. Mainly, the movie can be encoded at 23.976fps. I use Flask with bbMPEG encoder to do this. The problem that I'm having is that when encoding the movie, Flask treats the Interlaced frames differently than the Progressive frames. I've tried both de-interlacing with blending and not to de-interlace, but they still come out the same. The video will play back smoothly for most of a second, and then all of a sudden, it will skip a couple of frames (the interlaced ones I'm guessing) and continue this way throughout the entire movie.
I'm wondering if there is ANY encoder that will automatically read and WRITE the exact same frame style as the original, without any of these gaps. There is nothing wrong with ripping the movie, that works just fine. The original plays in my DVD player just fine. It's just encoding this thing.
Any help or advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

I don't know if the tools that you are using can sucessfully re-encode a progessive/interlased RIP. These mixed DVD are rare and tend to be a pain to process. I would recommend using Avisynth to frame serve to CCE with the Decomb filter. Warning these tools have a learning curve but once you understand them you will wonder how you ever lived without these tools

For CCE you will need to search your P2P resources.
