60 FPS ENCODING GUIDE
Disclaimer: This is my way of encoding to 60 fps. It is certainly not the easiest, fastest or even the best way.
This guide is in part taken from the x264 encoding guide from SDBits, so big thanks to them.

Copy x264.exe into \Program Files\MeGUI\
Copy DGDecode.dll from \Program Files\DGMPGDec\ to \Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\
Extract yadifmod_v1.zip and nnedi2.zip to \Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\
Extract sdb_profiles_3.0.zip to \Program Files\MeGUI\
DVD
For this, you will need a fully interlaced DVD. Don't even try with a progressive DVD, it doesn't work.
The way I check if a DVD is interlaced or not is by opening a VOB file in VirtualDub and going frame by frame.
3 results possible here:
1) All the frames are regular full pictures: the DVD is progressive.
2) All the frames seem to contain 2 images and horizontal lines run through it: the DVD is interlaced (what we want).
3) There is a pattern of 3 progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced frames: the DVD is telecined.
