It essentially means that you have 3 real frames and two repeated ones, 3 real frames, 2 repeated ones etc.
So essentially, you're going from 23,976p to 29,970p.
In the interlaced version you're referring to, instead of frames you have fields but it's exactly the same: 3 real fields, 2 repeated fields, 3 real fields, 2 repeated fields etc and you get a 29,970i stream that the TV then bobs to 60p, but the real original footage is still 23,970p.

I see. Anyway I would actually suggest you the software we've been working on (me, steipal, momocampo, emcodem) called FFAStrans. It's based on Avisynth and it will handle the frame rate conversion for you, including the encoding part, before you import the files into your non linear editor.
