For what you want to do, if you don't want to spend $500 on DVD SP 3, I'd suggest looking for someone selling DVD SP 2 and get that for cheap. I don't have version 2, so can anyone say whether it supports 24p? I would think it does...

Well, the H264/AVC won't affect how you encode normal DVDs, but NAB is just around the corner right? Who knows what goodies will be on display?
