I got this method from boon23. I think he used it to turn a PAL movie into NTSC without having to mess with the audio. I think he resized the NTSC video to 720x576 at 25 fps and applied 2:3 pulldown to 29.97 (setting: "25 --> 29.97"). It was a long time ago in a thread here at OT.com but I can't remeber what thread.

Yeah, I said turn PAL into NTSC but I screwed up the resizing part. "I think he resized the NTSC video to 720x576 at 25 fps and applied 2:3 pulldown to 29.97" should be "I think he resized the PAL video to 720x480 at 25 fps and applied 2:3 pulldown to 29.97". Sorry about that.
Anyway if you want to turn PAL into NTSC or NTSC into PAL without changing the audio this pulldown method is the way.
BTW, if you have a 23.976 progressive file with pulldown flags and you want to remove the pulldown flags for editing or something you can use DGPuldown also and set the custom setting to "23.976 --> 23.976" and away are the pulldown flags.
