DivX5 movie properties.

Hello. I recently got "Ghost in the shell" encoded in DivX5 format. I want to convert it to SVCD. I'd like to know some properties of the video stream such as: interlacing or progressive top / bottom field first an others, but those two are the most important. I want to convert the movie from 24fps NTSC to 25 fps PAL. I know how to use the tools everyone uses, but since I work mostly with PAL sources, I don't know exactly what steps (pulldown, decomb...) should I take to get the best conversion. Please, someone's expert help would be VERY useful. Thank you.

@all.... in wmp6, when check for file--> properties->advance tab, it will show what is the codec used to play the file, but some time i see that it shows directx filter, will not show what is the codec used to palyback the file.... any idea what could be the reason????? I am facing this after i re-installed my win2kpro OS. TA cj

Use a different tool to see the codecs. For .avi files, I like GSpot:
