EOS 5D MK II workaround: Converting 30p into 24p/25p

Howzit guys!

Just read that converting 30p into 24p/25p is tricky and not recommended.

Anybody around here with a hands-on, useable solution? Or an innovative approach worth trying? What's the tradeoff?

Any significant differences between converting into 24p and 25p? (that's for the guys from "old Europe" like myself..)

Thanx for helping out.. :beer:

The best way I heard about: Convert 30P to 60P in Twixtor. Then get 24P by a 2:3:3:2 pulldown. But I don't know if it really works flawlessly and how much rendertime is required.
 
thanx joe! interesting! do you think i can get 25p with twixtor too?

anybody around here with hands-on twixtor experience?
 
25p and 24p are basically the same. Play 24p on a 25p timeline and it should look almost identically. You only have to count with 4% faster movements and also 4% pitched sound. All 24p movies are reproduced on 25p/50i TVs as 25p.

I had to do this once on some DVX footage that accidently got bumped to 30p and it worked real well. Cut seamlessly with regular 24p. Took forever to render, though.
 
thanx joe!

batutta: sounds like twixtor is pretty well manageable.. will check out website.

how about the quality of the output?
 
ok thanx! must check that out lata.. lotsa further links there.

right, so how's the workflow like and how long is the rendertime with a let's say 2,4 GHz Intel core duo?
