"I haven't tried this, but I believe Evin Grant did, and what he said was (IINM) that the Mac automatically strips out pulldown upon capture. So if you shoot 720/24P "Over 60", it comes in as 60fps but the Mac strips it down and saves it as a 24fps file. So effectively it's exactly the same thing as 24pN."
"But I'll have to try it, or have Robert try it, to know for sure."
Has anyone figured out a way to do this, and verified that it works? It would mean that a laptop could provide the same sort of hugely space-saving live capture with the HVX -- that it can do with P2 cards, via the 24pn setting.
If anyone has pulled this off, it'd be great to hear of the specific settings, and if any special drivers, etc. are required beyond what ships with Final Cut's latest version.
