    is there a setting on my ag dvx100 that will allow me to capture only 5 frames a second. If not is there an easy method to convert the footage into 5fps as an example.
    ???

    On an original DVX100, the slowest you can simulate is 12fps. On the DVX100A you can simulate either 4P or 6P, but not 5P.

    To get 4P, put the camera in “slow shutter” mode and select a shutter speed of 1/8, and shoot in 30P mode. The result will be 4 individual frames per second, each exposed for 1/8 of a second (actually 1/7.5). If you want it to play back as actual 4fps, you’d have to speed it up in your NLE to have it play back at 640% of normal speed.

    To get 6P, shoot in 24P mode with a 1/12 shutter speed. On playback, run it at 400% of normal speed.
