I've had great results using Handbrake to convert various frame rate mkv's to 23.976 and that's after having problems trying to use Uncropmkv, which caused image drag and blur. Very strange. I see no loss in quality using Handbrake. It does a great job with the audio as well.

Thanks for the heads up. At this point, the audio doesn't concern me. It can be replaced. It's the video that I need to be compliant to NTSC so the audio can be worked in.

The first 6 movies have only the DD 5.1 which can be retrieved from the 2 Disc DVD collection (minus The Motion Picture of course) as it is the theatrical version and I believe I already have pcm ld audio for it. Movies 7 through 9 carry the DTS from the 2 Disc collectors edition plus commentary tracks. These also can be replaced. We do have cinema DTS for movies 7 through 9 but they will need to be synched properly.

I don't want to sacrifice video quality so that is most important.
