::mini dv tape question::

[wonderwall]

let's say you shoot something 24pa and edit it in a 23.97 timeline. if you print the video back to a mini dv tape, will it be saved as 24p on the dv tape?

for some reason i thought dv tapes could only record/playback at 30fps.

if i took my 24pa edited project on a mini dv tape to a digital theater (with a dv deck/player), would i see the project as 24p or 30p?

yah i've done some testing and i'm currently editing a 24p film, ive watched it on many different tvs and its 24, i'm taking a copy to watch in a theater in about a month to test the quality on big screen.

You have two choices to go back to tape. You can export from your timeline to DV with advanced pulldown added (3:2:2:3) whih stll keeps the progressive frames intact, or you can export will normal 3:2 pulldown which adds interlacing. The first option is only for archiving back to tape if you want to retrieve your progressive footage again.
