You are screwed as far as the look goes. You can’t truly interlace it at this point. You could try using fluidmotion, set source as progressive and end target as interlaced and leave it at 100 percent. Try that on a shot and see what happens. (LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG render)
Or you could try a BCC temporal blur.
Just throwing ideas to try, I have never done this myself. You might want to thank whoever shot it. :-0
I don’t see the thrill with 30P myself, but it isn’t usually as objectionable as you make it sound. Could they have had a high shutter speed also?

Your confusion is over the difference between “P” and “I”.
Your “30P” footage is shot progressive, which means the entire frame was shot at the exact same instance in time. It will be recorded in two halves (fields) on tape. One half is the odd lines, the other half is the even lines.
“60i” indicates that the two fields that make up a frame are shot at different points in time.
Capture the footage from your deck into your project and edit away. They are both 29.97 frames per second. The “P” will look sharper on eah frame, but will play back with a more stuttery motion.

This would be a great time for Michael Philips to jump in….

As Michael mentioned, make sure your RGB vs. 601/709 settings match. Any variation in settings will cause Avid to recreate the file as it is changing it on import.
If everything matches, it still takes a bit to import, but it is much faster and you should see the words “Fast Import” on the screen while it is importing.

You need the driver version that is dated in the summer of 2008.

You can’t reimport the OMF media files like that. You need to import from the original audio files.
If you have a lot of metadata like song name, CD it came from, etc. that you have manually entered, then you want to go the batch import route.
If not, just import the songs again into your new project.
If you do need all that info, you have to get it into your differing frame rate project. Just opening the bin in your new project won’t work as the frame rate doesn’t match. The cheat is to get the info out of one frame rate and into another. You can do that by selecting all the audio clips in the bin and choosing ALE export.
This is probably not a preset on your system, so you need to manually create it. Select “untitled” from your export menu. No go into options and near the bottom you will see Avid Log Exchange (ALE) as an option. Select that. You can save it to untitled or create a new setting called ALE.
This will write a text file wherever you saved it. Open that in a text editor and you will see project info followed by clip info. It will have the frame rate of your current project. Change that to the frame rate of the new project. Now go into that new project and import that ALE. You will have a new bin full of your clips. Select them all and choose “batch import” and follow through the prompts and point to your original audio files and they will import and be ready to go.
Of course the joke in all of this is that there is NO frame rate to audio. But Avid works in frame rate so you have no other way round this.

Better yet, update to the current version (3.5) and use Avid’s AMA function. You can mount the volumes that have your EX media and immediately see the clips and even start editing with them if you choose.
You can also use this to select the ones you want to keep, and then transcode them if you want to. But you don’t have to, you can just continue using them to edit with.
Zero import time.

They need to be imported again into the new project at the new frame rate. I believe you could export an ALE of your music bin, import that into the other project and batch import to keep all your metada.

Rebuild the database.

As with the pot below in this forum, you have files and or folders that you do not have permissions for. You need to take ownership of all the files. Try using the link in the post below to go to the Avid site and see how to solve this.
