You must've seen the man pages for mplayer. It has more switches than Bell. I 
understand there is support for mpeg's, but I haven't tried it yet.

Exactly, something the original poster should look into.

A minor technicality with one pass encoding of stills. What I placed in the 
post was a quick paste from .bash_history, meant as an example. Perhaps the 
original poster never even heard of mencoder. I think the actual value is 
29.97 for telecined mpeg's. One has to dive into the software to achieve 
their own personal requirements. The switch -of mpeg is beta, the default is 
avi.

And of course, trial and error if the accurate answer is absent.
