quicktimes at 29.96 fps

Hello,

I am attempting to bring in some media that I have in .mp4 format into FCP. These .mp4s were created in Handbrake, off of a DVD. What I am doing is converting the .mp4 files to quicktimes (using DV NTSC compression, medium quality, 29.97 fps, keyframes automatic). What I am getting is a quicktime file that says it is playing at 29.96 fps and thus goes out of sync when I try to bring it into my 29.97 fps project.

Any ideas on how I can create a quicktime at the correct (29.97) frame rate?

One more thing- I am using Quicktime 7.4

Do you still have the DVD? Because I would try re-ripping the video straight to DV directly off the disc. Handbrake doesn't offer this though, you'll need to use something like MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV. And this is a non-commercial DVD, right?

MP4s are so heavily compressed, they're not going to upscale well no matter what you try. What you've done is squeeze your original video down to a postage stamp, and you're trying to blow it back up into a poster. Ain't gonna be pretty...
