Make an informed choice
What is that last sentence meant to imply? That I am not informed? I didn't come up the term "power user". Donald Graft uses it in the manual for DGIndex.
From the manual:
Ignore Pulldown Flags - The pulldown flags are ignored. This allows one to obtain the raw encoded MPEG pictures, with no repeated fields. However, because repeated fields intended for display are ignored and not displayed, the resulting frame rate may differ from the source frame rate. It may even vary throughout the clip, due to irregular patterns of pulldown flags. If the pulldown is irregular, use of this option will cause the audio-video sync to change at different parts of the clip, and most likely sync will not be acceptable. This option is mostly intended for power users, who would use it as a diagnostic aid for inspecting the encoded MPEG pictures. Although this option ignores the flags, they are still stored in the D2V file although DGDecode will also ignore them.
If you know what you are doing, then that is of course fair enough, but it is not recommended that most users, especially beginners, set the Field Operation to Ignore Pulldown Flags. If the advice has changed, Donald Graft should update his manual.
EDIT: I don't think it has changed though. The thread you linked to was a different situation to the one being dealt with here. In that thread, the OP started with pure 24fps material that he had pulled down with DGPulldown. In this case, there would be a regular 3:2 pulldown running through the video, so Ignore Pulldown Flags + Assumefps would not result in a problem. In this thread, the OP has an NTSC DVD and cannot assume that the pulldown is uniform throughout the movie. There might well be a certain amount of hard telecined material present. I still maintain that selecting Ignore Pulldown Flags is a mistake in this situation.

When I try to load the .avs file I get the following warning:
Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'YV12' (unknown).
Virtualdub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to decompress video. DirectShow codecs. such as those used by Windows Media Player. are not suitable. Only "Direct stream copy" is available for this video.
Try installing XviD.
