This might help…

Don’t get the different shooting formats (720p/24p, 720p/24pN, 720p/60p, etc.) confused for the Variable Frame Rates which work best in conjunction with the Native Recording Formats (720p/24pN, 720p/30pN). Using the 720p/24pN format with a 60fps framerate, for example, will yeild incredible slo-mo (more than 2x slower) when edited on a 24fps timeline.

The key is to understand the dif. between Recording Format/Setup (i.e. 720p/24pN) and the Frame Rate, which you change in the “Scene File” menu on the camera and not the “Recording Setup” menu.

Hope that helps. I went through the same confusion….

Word! Sorry, I meant to put “720p/24pN” in the original subject but it seems you figured that out. Bits v. Bytes is my bad…thanks for clearing that up…
So now…the way I’m understanding the workflow is that the 24pA footage from the DVX100 needs to be captured at a 29.97 framerate while removing the Advanced Pulldown/Duplicate frames upon Capture using the Capture Presets and then everything should synch up on a 24fps timeline. Is that right?

Thanks again for you help, Russ!
