HI
I just purchased a DVX-100 and shot some footage using scene file 2 which should have been set to 29.97 frames per second but instead recorded at 24 for some reason. I edited the footage in Final Cut Pro thinking it was 24 and then exported it into iDVD and Toast Titanium and the there is a strobing like effect whenever the camera moves or pans. The footage jumps on the DVD but is not visible when I watch the footage on the computer or in Final Cut Pro. How can I solve this problem? If I set Final Cut Pro's settings in capture and timeline as 24fps should this solve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ben
 
Place tape back in DVX and playback with all displays on. This will display the true fps.
If it was set to F2 and you hadn't changed it then it will be 29.97.
FCP will not convert output to 24fps unless you specifically set it up.
And note that 24fps means 23.98 and note that the DVX has 2 24fps modes. 24p and 24pa. Both require different methods to bring in as 23.98.
