I want to re-encode Star Wars NTSC version (resizing to anamorphic). Normally I only work with PAL so I could use some advice. I hope someone can help me with this.

1) In DGIndex I think it's best to set field operation to forced film since I'm dealing with progressive material. Is this correct?

2) Should I set YUV -> RGB to TV scale or PC scale. I guess if I use a luminance level of 0 - 255 in CCE I should use TV scale. (If I use PC scale the luminance level in CCE has to be 16 - 235.) Is this correct?

3) I want to encode it as progressive frames in CCE so I select a frame rate of 23.976. Will CCE set the pulldown flags automatically or do I have to use a program later to insert the flags in the m2v stream (I did this once a long time ago but I forgot the program's name). What are the best settings? What is the difference between 2:3 en 3:2 pulldown (I know that the order of inserted fields is different but I don't understand what this matters for playback)?

4) In the picture settings of CCE I check the progressive frame box and I set the block scan order to zigzag. Is this the good setting for progressive NTSC material?

I use CCE SP2.
