RAYLIGHT did the trick although switching platforms was a Sunday journey of discovery. Hey, PCs are pretty cool. Thank you Anders. Although 25p conversion seems to end up with films with frame rate of 24.97. Does that actually matter? Lets keep the pressure on FCP people to get their stuff together.

No, it should be 25.00 exactly, and you'll have to get RayMaker 1.05b to fix that. Go to http://dvfilm.com/update

Please can someone suggest a way to convert footage shot at 720/25pn into something I can use. I have one really rather important clip which I stupidly shot in an excited state not realising that the material would be useless for 2 months... HELP PLEASE>!

Footage is for a camera track. I thought it good idea to shoot 720/25pn with variable frame rate set to 50fps and shutter at 1000th to create smooth crisp slow motion for my tracking man to work on... I need to give him an image sequence asap. Otherwise its back to BRADFORD UK for Squint. I just cant believe they can sell a camera so early.

Buy a Kona LH Card. Set the camera to playback the footage trough 1080i. Use the component out from the camera and capture trough the Kona Card in a DVCPROHD 1080i 50 timeline. You should get your footage in there. Not the best way, I know, but the only way (at least that I know of)
