24p isn't as popular in countries that use PAL because the TV standard is 25 frames per second, which is very close to 24 fps. Basically all you have to do is speed up the 25p by 1% if you need to transfer to film. Otherwise, no one will notice any difference because it is so close. Some people often cannot even see the difference between 24p and 30p.
 
Its 4% 24 - 25 you cant see any different . If you have very very good ears you can hear it at the pitch.
 
You'll have to slow it down in post, cause the DVX (PAL version) only records 50 interlaced & 25progressive. It can't record 30 progressive frames. So you have to use your favourite video editing software to slow it down to 24p. But the difference of 1 extra frame per second is so unnoticed. Besides, 25p plays well on PAL TVs, so why would you want to slow it down to 24p?

Besides, 25p is just as filmic looking as 24p with the added advantage of smoother motion, albiet slightly only.
