  DVCPro 720p24 to HDCam 29.97

  aarrrggghhh… here’s the deal,

  i have a project shot & edited on DVCProHD 720p24. looks great. need to deliver 1080i/29.97 HDCam.

  since i’m living in KONA 2 land, i used compressor to crossconvert to 1080i/29.97 8bit uncompressed. yes it’s a long render, but it looks really good (the client was oohing & aahhing) and surprisingly there were no pulldown issues.

  we take the spot on DVD to their facility to output from their FCP system (they have a system fast enough to run a single stream of 8bit HD). it looks great, it even looks great on the output monitor coming out of the HDCam deck.

  all is well… not.

  i do a little QC on my own and watch the spot on air & boom, there’s suddenly a pulldown issue.

  is this a job for (the not yet purchased) “nattress standards conversion” or is there something else i’m missing?

  thank you for the help & glory to the cow,

  eric
