DVCPro HD 3:2 pull down ????

[Dev101]

I'm working on a project and I sort of hit a wall technically.
If you had a moment and don't mind, I sure could use the help...


I have a HDV converted to DVCPro HD file in Final Cut. Its 29.97fps and I need to convert it to 23.98. It was captured through a third party device in a non controllable setting. The original clip has timecode and start stop points. But the captured clip, is all one file.

Every time I set the clip to Reverse telecine a box comes up
'This clip is not recommended for reverse Telecine. there are 524 dropped frames.'

The setting I've used in Cinema tools are Conform 29.98 to 29.98

that seems to help the errors but there are still lots of dropped frames.

Then Reverse Telecine

Capture mode: Field1 -Field 2
Fields: Style 1 AA
File: New Smaller
Frames: Conform 23.98 with the standard upper/lower box enabled.

I have a Macbook Pro 2.5 Intle Core 2 Dro, 4 GB Memory, OSX 10.5.6
Cinema Tools 4.0.1, FCP 6.0.5

Thank you for taking the time to read this! if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Which camera was the original shot on? Is this one take or an edit? You can't take out 3:2 from an edit so easily but a single shot should be doable.
