The Panasonic source is DVCPRO HD using a 23.98 timebase at 960×720 using a DVCPRO HD 720p60 compressor – sorry for the naming confusion.
I agree with your solution, however, it’s not possible as there’s no capture card and I’m working with material that’s already been digitized and edited on a hard drive – the company that did the image campaign used these settings so I’m stuck trying to convert their material into something usable.
Right now, I think I’ll have to render everything of their into a single DVCPRO HD file and then convert that file into 720p30.
