It's my understanding that you really shouldn't do actual pulldown to film sources--just leave the real film frames alone and tell it to run at the proper speed, adding pulldown flags during the encoding stage if need be.  Hard-interlaced material wastes space and bandwidth by having to encode duplicate fields, and is just that much more difficult for de-interlacing to sort out during progressive playback.

Absolutely... PG was made with a pulldown flag.  But my understanding is that HD doesn't have pulldown flags.  I did the hard pulldown this time for the PSB demo because I didn't know the right way to handle it in HD... now that I'm armed with the correct method(s), the next one will be better! (and smaller).
