Export to tape 24F/25F? Gotta be a way!

Hi,

I'm not sure yet, but I might be buying one of the new canon HDV cameras, but there's something that really worries me. I already downloaded the codec that supports 24F/25F but on the installation manual it says you cannot export to tape with 24F/25F. This is really bad for me, because most of the producers I work for demand a copy on dvd AND TAPE. Is there anyway around it? I was thinking that maybe after the editing/cc is complete I could export an mpeg and then play it on a regular timeline...but I have no idea if it would work? How should I export the file for it to work? What type of timeline what I need? Should I capture the footage to the camera using the cameras' interlace mode or again 24F/25F?
 
For 25F just capture and edit in a 50i preset. Export your final edit to a 25P codec (say WMV HD) and simply export your HDV 50i edit back to tape. It generally won't look any different.
