Sorry if this has come up before but I gotta ask. I was just checking because so far I can't see a problem with this but is there any reason I can't just make a copy of my 24p footage to a mini dv recording at it's normal speed? It's just for simple edits and this of course allows me to dump the 24p footage I shoot into I-movie or final cut express when I would normally not be able to. I know it's a cheap way out for people who don't have Final Cut or whatever and it probably has some visual consequences but thats why I thought I would ask a much wiser group of people then I before I get comfortable doing it. Like I said before it seems to look okay but maybe I'm missing something?
