I says to myself ``That sounds like a pulldown error, but why
would he use pulldown on 29.971 fps?''  Ahhh, twenty-THREE...

try -vfr 1 -p

This will pulldown the video.  This is also known as telecine,
transcode, or ``Bananarama tape with no case.''  The last phrase
is rare, and its etymology obscure.

Executive summary--it converts the framerate to the appropriate
framerate.  You can find out more here:

Though encode2mpeg is a frontend to MPlayer (and for that
reason, I'm not offended), I'll bet they have a help section
that's more appropriate than this list.
