Cinema Tools on Mac changing playback speed

I would like to playback PAL 1080p25 @ 50 fps footage in real time meaning at 50 fps. In Cinema Tools I can go only to 30 fps and that is still slow motion. In Barry Green's book about the AF100 it is written that this should be possible. How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

I have Mac OS 10.6.7, Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 and Cinema Tools 4.5.1
 
The reason why I would like to do this is that we will shoot an event with the AF100 and the TM700. The TM700 has the ability to shoot in 1080p50 @ 50 fps. To match the two footages I plan to shoot with the AF100 in 1080p25 @ 50 fps and edit the meta data in Cinema Tools making it playing back in real time.
I will use the footage for many purposes, also for a DVD. I think that down converting for DVD from 50 fps to 25 fps should not be a problem, right?
 
i think if you have recorded in overcranked mode, you can't speed it back up since its already at 25p. I think your best bet is to shoot 25p with the af100 and then show 50p on your tm700 and then convert all of the tm700 footage to 25p.
 
Barry Green the author of the book says something about conforming in Cinema Tools. I tried that, but I can go only up to 30 fps. Even when I want to conform 720/50p to for example 25 fps, the option 50 fps is not there. I think, Barry Green should know how to do it. Is he not around?
 
I have done this in Vegas and Premiere. Haven't done it in FCP as I'm not an FCP user.

In the other NLEs, you make a 1080/50p timeline, and drop the footage on the timeline, and tell it to play back at 200% speed. It makes a frame-accurate 1080/50p out of the footage.
 
Ah, ok. I thought this could be possible, but I was afraid that it was not accurate when I am setting the playback speed to 200%. But, I believe you. I will try it. Thank you!
