Hello Jeremy, or anyone else an expert on this question. I just saw in this post a couple weeks ago you were addressing a similar issue...

Anyway, I've got a mixed bag of stuff in my timeline, but the main two issues are that I'm mixing 720p P2 material (yes real 24p, no pulldown added) which is the majority of the footage and 16:9 29.97 480p footage.
Before reading your thread I tried mixing the two in a 24p timeline (with hopes of making an actual 24p DVD) but the 29.97 stuff looked horrible. It was of course removing every fifth frame and I should've know that would look horrible. So I went to the 29.97 sequence. But FCP's pulldown it added was simply a duplicated frame. 90% of the 24p looked perfectly normal until you had a pan or similar shot.
So I found your thread and swapped the timeline to 59.97. My usual method, duplicate the timeline, copy all, delete all, change the sequence preset to 59.97, then paste everything back in. It seems to have worked as the 24p runs a little smoother now. Did I do this right? There were a few hiccups that I made adjustments to and now the sequence seems good to go.
So now what? What is the best way to prepare this new 59.94 sequence for DVD? Do I just export a reference movie and drop it in DVD SP like usual?
