DVD Frame Rates

I shoot all my footage in HD 23.976 on Canon 7D cameras. I edit my projects in Premiere Pro CS6 and export them as H.264 for BluRay Premiere template. I create a new project in Encore and import my footage as a timeline. For as long as I have used Encore CS6 my Bluray Discs come looking beautiful, frame rate and all. However, whenever I burn my project to DVD Encore changes the frame rate from 23.976 to 29.97? The difference is noticeable. The footage goes from looking cinematic on the BluRay to a cheap soap opera on DVD. I didn't have this problem with CS5.5 and I don't know how to fix this. Is there a setting I can change in Encore so I can retain my 24fps frame rate? I have asked this question in a few other forums in the past few months but no one has provided me with a suitable solution. Can anyone help me out please? Thank You.

    Look at 23.976 for DVD in mediainfo or gspot. You will see that it is 29.97 with pulldown. That is the nature of DVD.

     

    If you don't create it with the flag, it doesn't work. I don't recall the options. I think that when you export 23.976 as MPEG2-DVD fromPremiere/AME, the pulldown added.

    whenever I burn my project to DVD

     

    Don't do that.  Export out DVD specific assets from Premiere Pro using the MPEG2-DVD preset.  Then create a second Encore project specifically for DVD.
