I have a question on this (I know, right?)...

I like to use DGPulldown on my video files (23.976 -> 23.976) to strip pulldown flags on progressive content.  Womble otherwise reads the source as 29.97 and when it re-encodes the end pieces at cuts, it does so as 29.97i instead of 23.976p.  It makes your output variable frame rate.  So it's better to work in 23.976 and then add the flags back afterward.

I don't remember what order I used to do this in, but I'm working on a project now and ran GOP fixer first.  It said the video file had no errors.  Then I removed the pulldown flags and started editing but had some problems in my editor.

I rechecked it with GOP fixer. This time it found 18,424 time coder errors.

Can anyone explain this to me?
