Interlacing problem

Earlier this week I shot a spec commercial with a DVX 100B from work. I am pretty sure the camera was set to 24p but my footage has severe interlacing problems when it is brought into final cut. Does anybody know what might be the problem?

looks like a pulldown issue.

this can happen sometimes when you have a dropped frame, which causes the capturing program to bug and leave in the pulldown for the remainder of the captured footage.

Try capturing it again, and look out for any corrupt frames.

I've imported it on two different decks with two machines. Is there a better pulldown removal software than the one that comes with Final Cut? We are approaching a reshoot which would be very lame.
 
I'm curious as to why the Final Cut pulldown software is not helping me, we have also tried the pulldown removal in AE which is not helping consistently. Would there be a way to identify the corrupted frames and remove them?
 
Did you shoot 24p standard or 24pA? You can tell this by playing the tape in your camera; it should tell you on the LCD screen which mode it is.

If you shot standard 24p, you can't remove the pulldown with FCP; you have to use Cinema Tools. (If you try it with FCP, the pulldown cadence will be wrong and you'll end up with a mess.)

I shot in 24p so I'll try going through cinematools, is there a tutorial that you recommend? I have been looking but I can't find anything that walks me through the workflow. Hopefully this will do the trick.
 
If you're going to edit in 24p (which you always should if you have 24p footage and aren't mixing it with anything), shoot 24pA.

If you're going to edit as 29.97 (which you would do if mixing with 30p or with 60i footage you want to keep as 60i), then shoot 24p.

It's all about how you're going to edit -- nothing else. Not output -- editing.
