Quick question about my source footage

I'm working with "12 Kingdoms" which is beautiful 23.976 fps 100% Progressive FILM (not to mention an amazing anime). However the company trailer attached to the beginning of the first episode of the DVD and the trailers of other animes they've done at the end of the last episode on the DVD are interlaced, NTSC, 23.976 fps. So, do I:

1. De-interlace everything
2. Go ahead knowing that I'm not going to use the interlaced material
3. Find a way to clip the unwanted footage off the VOB/AVI or
4. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out this poor n00b and if anyone who worked on the AMV guide reads this then extra special thanks to you for helping me make it through my first good AMV! (This 12 Kingdoms one is my second).

Don't worry about stuff you arent using. Just force film it.

Thanks for the help on the 12 Kingdoms source.

Another question, this one about post-production. I was watching my first AMV and I noticed that every now and then there is something green that creeps up on the sides of my XVID export. I also noticed that there wasn't the same problem on my TMPGEnc MPEG2 export, so I don't think it has to do with the original footage or the AVS script. It was exported doing a 1-pass quality DX50 export, because I would get an error message anytime I tried using any 2-pass export. Any ideas?

what error did you get for your 2-pass?

No, that's a problem with the decoders and [presumably] an outdated version of the XviD encoder. Make sure that you have XviD 1.0.3 and at least DivX 5.1.2 (or the newest ffdshow build). That should take care of it, assuming you're encoding the XviD file according to the settings in the guide.
