Settings for 24pa in Adobe Media Ecoder?

[a2zproductions]

What are the settings for properly exporting from PP1.5
in Mpeg 2 format for final destination Adobe Encore?

First off:
1. Do I choose Mpeg 2 or Mpeg 2-DVD
2. I guess for preset I create a custom one and name it 24pa
(otherwise it's all 29.97 from every other choice)
3. In the Video section do I choose 23.976 then choose 4:3
for the aspect ration, what about the 3:2 pulldown?
4. Do I leave the rest as default?

Any other tweaks I'm not aware of?
Thanks,
Adrian

This must be a tough one...

I really hate how no one responds to these posts. I'm in the same boat with A2z, what project settings are optimal for 24pa?

I have the panel stumped...

1. MPEG2-DVD. Not all MPEG2 files are DVD legal. The MPEG-2DVD setting won't let you encode a non-DVD file.
2. Yes, create your own preset. I think it's stupid PPro doesn't include one.
3. 23.976 Progressive will give you a 24p DVD with no pulldown.
4. Under GOP settings change N frames from "15" to "12." Think of this as "how many frames are there in a half second?" and you'll understand why we changed it to 12.
