Well, you're close.
If it's an HD disc like Blu-ray (or the almost completely hosed HD-DVD) then it's
usually running 23.98 for films.
But, for regular standard definition region 1 DVD's.. these discs are mastered, encoded & authored in NTSC @ 29.97.
(NDFTC or DFTC depending on the studio), not 23.98.
So, the disc comes packaged to you already pulled down -0.1% @ NTSC speed from authoring/duplication.
other regions besides N. America & Japan would of course be PAL @ 25 frame EBU, pulled UP approx 4%.. ugh... ...sometimes...
but that's a whole 'nother sticky right there.
