There is some speculation that the Sony FX1 HDV camcorder will not provide true 24P.
The latest release of DVFilm Maker (2.00f) for Windows (http://dvfilm.com/maker) has a slight modification to accept frame sizes up to 1920 x 1080, so it could be used to convert 1080i to 1080-24P, or to remove either a 3:2 or 2:3:3:2 pulldown from 1080i. The clips would first have to be converted to uncompressed AVI or Quicktime.
This would yield better results than the camera's built-in 24P mode assuming that it is getting 24P by dropping frames from a 30P acquisition, or dropping fields from a 60i acquisition.
