EX1 1080 24P Final Cut Pro monitoring?

[thefilmaddict]

2 questions:

I shot some EX1 footage this weekend using the 1080 24p HQ mode.

Everything looks great.

When I hook the camera up to my HDTV via the component cable, the image plays back fine and looks stunning.

When I import the footage into Final Cut Pro, the playback on my computer monitor is fine, but on my HDTV monitor (which is fed by my Kona card) the image plays back, but quickly goes out of sync.

I have many Kona playback settings to pick from, including 1080 24p, but this setting will not playback on a regular HDTV, right?

Most HDTV's can only play 1080i or 720p, right? Are those not the only 2 broadcast standards?

1. What's the best KONA setting to use to monitor my video so that it does not go out of sync on a regular HDTV?

2. When I am finished editing and want to make a DVD and an HDDVD, what export settings should I use?

Thanks!

I tried to switch playback to 720 59.94. It seems in sync, but will only play back a few seconds, then I get a dropped frames warning/error. I guess my system can't keep up with a real time down convert from 1080 p to 720 p. Any ideas?
