Deinterlace 24pa footage for progressive view?

I am using pp2.0. The footage was shot on scene file 6 (24pa) on a dvx100a.
Do I need to deinterlace footage transferred in media encoder for the web?
Also, since 24pa mimics 30fps (if I am not wrong) do I allow the encoder to use 29.###fps setting, or change it to 23.###?

I did a lot of research, but I am still confused.

Thx!
 
If you shot in 24p Advanced, you shouldn't be editing in an NTSC project. If you did, you need to go back and do it over. If you edited 24PA in a 24P project you are all okay. Just export using the 24p (Advanced) option or just straight 23.***
 
Ok!

Ok!

Got it Barry! Thanks for the reply. I must say, regardless of my obvious ingorance on this issue, I love your book and refer to it often when I need help.

Thanks for helping us rookies out!

"Deinterlacing progressive," isn't that an oxymoron?

LOL you are soooooooo right. You know how you say a word (for example DUCK) so often you don't realize what you are saying? (example expanded: you yell out DUCK and everyone hits the floor. You scratch your head wondering why everyone is so afraid of a bunch of mallards flying overhead, LOL). I feel stupid in a funny kind of way! LOL

Ok, got it. Never deinterlace progressive footage. Do I need to interlace progressive footage when you want to view it on an interlaced tv or such? Are all tube tv's interlaced, or this that a thing of the past?

Thanks guys! Your help is much appreciated!
 
When outputting to an interlaced TV, you'll need to add 2:3 pulldown to 24p footage. By printing to tape that process gets done for you.

Or, you could render your footage to a 24P DVD. The DVD player will take care of adding pulldown if necessary. A 24P DVD is really the ideal universal distribution format. It'll play back in pure progressive on a progressive TV (like an LCD or DLP or plasma), it'll automatically add interlacing for CRTs, it'll take care of aspect ratio conversions to make the footage work properly on 4:3 or 16:9 TVs, and it'll even play on European/PAL DVD players.
