	Have you tried using dvdrip. You should be able to convert
small portions of the video just for testing purposes to see if it will
drift or not. I've had similar problems trying to transcode PAL content.

	If it's going to be a problem it will probably be a problem right
away within 10 minutes of the feature starting.

not had any problems with any of my other non-Disney NTSC content.
