You want to make a 23.976 NTSC project. DV25p is the native DV resolution in a progressive project. 411 is the native DV color space. This is the same quality as the tape format.

Yes you can – just to be clear, a 23.976 project. Choose SD down convert in the Video OUtput tool then the HD TAB. Select anamorphic, letterbox, or center crop depending on your needs.

You will still work at 23.976 since that is the frame rate of the camera. It records in 30 NDF mode for 24 frame on SD formats. If doing double system sound, it is recommended that it be recorded at 29.97fps non drop frame timecode.
Finish entire film at 23.976 and final film out will be a one to one frame conversion from video/digital frame to film.
Audio will be adjusted by .1% for the optical track by pulling down the recorder from 60Hz to 59.94.
Digital audio for film will have a sample rate conversion done to go from 23.976fps @ 48kHz to 24fps @ 48kHz.
DVD, SD, and HD masters will all live at 23.976/48kHz which is what you have now in editorial.

You can work in 720p/24pN on the camera in a 720p/23.976 project on Avid. If you have a DNxcel board (the HD card) you can transcode to DNxHD and have both an HD and SD output at the same time.
If you don’t have a card, edit at HD, because you can, then transcode the finished piece to SD for output. If DVD, output a QT ref from your HD project and encode directly to SD MPEG2.

Direct output over FireWire came in 5.1. All previous versions required a Mojo for output.

MiniDV is a standard definition format and when these cameras shoot 24p, they do so at 23.976 into a 59.94 field format (NTSC). The imaging and motion capture is done at 1/23.976th of a second with a 48th per second shutter (47.952) which is similar to a film camera at 24fps.
So the tape itself is very similar to the process of film being transferred to NTSC with a 2:3 pulldown except in this case it is the sensors, a buffer, and writing out to tape.
These camera adhere to the recommended standard that the “A” frame of the 2:3 cadence falls on non drop 30fps timecode ending on :x0 and :x5. This is why those cameras only record in NDF.
Now there are two types of pulldown available; NORMAL and ADVANCED. See 24p.com or elsewhere on the web for an explanation of that.
Is that what you are looking for? I also recommend that you rock your 5 month old back and forth in a 2:3 cadence… they fall right asleep! 😉

ABVB systems do not have native 23.976 project types. ABVB can do 24p project types. The Symphony can do 23.976 and 24.
The Symphony can also take your 24p timeline and create a 23.97 timeline via the modify command. This assumes a recapture of both picture and sound.
If you work at 24p and do sound at that rate, the audio post team will need to pulldown the sound and sample rate convert to 48kHz in order to be used in the 23.976 project and be in sync.

What you can do:
Capture HDV and edit HDV native directly in Avid Xpress Pro
Or, select all your sources and transcode to DNxHD (see transcode in User Guide).
The Video column in the bin will display the format/codec for that clip.Edit away.

There is a relink by resolution option in the relink dialogue box for that purpose.

I agree, at that rate you could use audio from anything and it would stll work –
