Hello Greg/Michael, i seem to have the same issue, so i read the response/question with great interest.
I was recently handed a bunch of mini DVtapes, and captured all of them regularly in FCP (DV NTSC, 29.97)
I have major interlacing lines (2 frames play normally, 2 frames interlace…) and it goes on and on…
The producer doesn’t know in what frame rate this was shot, so i need to figure this out asap… I read the above pull-down response, and need to try that. I’ve never had to deal with this before… and i am feeling way out of water here.
(24p progressive, recapture? pulldown? Yikes…! This is probably a good learning experience).
I love to know if the solution to the above problem was ever found. Please let me know. I really don’t want to re-capture ALL the tapes, it would be a great headache…
Thank you so much!!
