    I tried to convert HDV 50i project to HD 1080p with 24p and 23,98p but the result is bad.
    Which is the best way to convert 50i to 24p or 23.98p?

    Final Cut Pro 5
    OS x Tiger
    Dual 2,5 Ghz
    DeckLink HD Pro

    First you need to use a Standards converter to convert the PAL footage (50i) ot NTSC (60i)…like the Standardds Converter from http://www.nattress.com ($100). Then you can reverse telecine the footage to 23.98.

    But by then it might look very jittery…

    Export an image sequence… reimport the image sequence @ 24fps timebase. Slow down your audio 4% to match (do a pitch adjustment in protools or some audio program… not sure if soundtrack pro does this).

    You’ll also need to deinterlace.
