In answer to your actual question - can you encode something at 720x576 progressive 23.976fps, insert pulldown flags to make it 25fps on playback, and expect it to play on a DVD player - I've no idea.
I will try and let you know if it works
had those, the first Widescreen releases of Star Wars on VHS in the UK, CBS/Fox did transfers like that all the time.
Predator and Aliens: Special Edition were like this also, terrible picture quality. They got severly critised in some film magazines and changed to proper 25fps PAL releases eventually. Buena Vista/Disney, always used to do this on VHS releases of their animated films as well.

Was the picture quality bad because of the pulldown or was it just bad?
