changing framerate in Adobe Premier Elements 4

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my problem. I've been following VicBond007's amazing guide for using DVD footage, and I've come to the part where he instructs me to change the settings for Adobe Premier to 24 fps from standard NTSC format. However, Adobe Premier Elements 4 has the drop-down menus unhighlighted for me so that it won't let me change the settings. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to bypass this, or if there's some kind of box i need to uncheck before it will let me change the settings? Thank you!

When you start a new project you can change it, not later... ok i dont know how it is in Elementals but in the other version there is it so.

yeah, the problem still occurs when I'm starting out, it doesn't let me change the framerate even though there's a drop down box for it but it won't let me change it because its not highlighted or anything. Is this one of the features that elements doesn't have and only pro has, or am I just missing something? And if elements doesn't allow you to change it, is there any avs script I can run that can get the framerate up to speed without making the footage interlaced or majorly sacrificing quality? Thanks.

There probably is some setting somewhere that you have to change first. I know in Premiere Pro, you have to choose "Custom" or "Desktop" or something on your video settings in order to be able to change frame size and frame rate. So if you see something set to "NTSC" or "PAL", that's probably what you need to change, because those settings won't have default frame rates of 24 fps.
