I'm looking into doing a few shorts with this camera and hoping to utilize 24p for the "Film Look". I'm running a G5 dual 2g with 500g of media space and FCP. Other than pouring over the minute details of what rate and 3:2 pulldowns and such, is there a simple 1,2,3 guide to shooting at 24p, editing in FCP, compressing to MPEG2, and using DVD Studio Pro to go to DVD?
Can I use my DVCAM deck to digitze the 24p footy via FireWire(It's a DSR 1500a)?
Is it as easy as going into the easy set-ups and choosing Cinema Tools 24p to DV, or are there other considerations for going to DVD?
BTW, very cool forum, I'm glad I stumbled onto it!!... thanks in advance for any help and / or suggestions.
