Bug report for the latest version 2.88 Alpha
-------------------------------------------------

When converting a PAL progressive DVD title (in an MKV container) to NTSC with HCenc, then AVStoDVD applies pulldown twice. First by putting "*PULLDOWN" into the HC.ini, then again by using DGPulldown. I think that doing this only once would be better...

Here is the relevant part of the log:

Process halted during Title 1 VIDEO encoding operations.

Error Message: 'Warning! Title 1 output Video duration (01:23:47) is shorter than expected duration (01:44:44).'
This issue might have been there for a while, I do NTSC conversions only rarely.
