mixing interlaced and progressive video

[MYoung]

Maybe this belongs in the advanced conversion area, though it relates a bit to dvd authoring. Anyway...

With DVD, is it possible to mix interlaced and progressive video in one VOB? I'm trying to put together some stop-motion animations. I have some that are 14.985fps and recently I concluded that making my animations at 23.976fps would be better since my camera is progressive. That way, on a progressive display the image wouldn't be deinterlaced through BOB and softened.

I figured the way to go was to telecine the 23.976fps, progressive video to 29.970fps and just cut it in with some of the interlaced video that I have. But in TMPG I don't know how to get it to make an MPEG2 that will know when to do BOB or 3:2 pulldown in the same video -- that is, if it is even possible to have progressive and interlaced video mixed into one video. I thought it was possible through selecting "3:2 pulldown" in the "encode mode" part of TMPG.

I know it's possible to just create different "titles" and link them in DVD-Lab, but that creates a slight delay as it switches titles. I'd hate to go that route if there is a more streamlined way of doing this. Any suggestions? Thanks!
