That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for responding quickly. I have read that no matter how many frames you capture at, the tape will always take everything at 29.97. I just get confused with so many codecs and capture/timeline options.
However, I did try the Squeeze mode as someone recommended at 24pA, captured that at anamorphic with timeline settings using the pulldown removal. Exported that and holy hell, it worked like a charm. Footage looks so good and reminded me why I bought this camera (at least until the Scarlet comes out.)
I do want to get that DVD on Final Cut/DVX100B settings though. Just for a quick shoot, I needed quick answers rather than ones that cost $75. I will be plunking down for it though. Thanks everybody. These forums are a lifesaver.
What about export settings to a DVD? If I’m using just iDVD just to burn it. What would you use? I’m using the H264 codec (I believe that’s it). Would you recommend anything else?
