Multicam Setup but One Camera is out of Sync?

I shot a multicam setup with 2 Canon 5D Mark iii and 3 Canon T3i's. I recently imported my footage into my computer and noticed that one of the video files from one of the Canon 5D Mark iii's is not nearly as long as the other 4 files and appears to be sped up out of sync. To add to my headache, the cameraman recorded with no sound. Could anyone figure out why the video in this file is faster than the other 4?

Note: I told all cameramen to shoot at 24fps, but the troublesome file was shot at 30fps. I converted it to 30fps but it still is sped up and out of sync with the rest.
 
tired- funniest post I've read in awhile.

nefilmgroup - you answered your own question (see tired's post).

Depending on your software will depend on how you proceed. Meaning, if you plop a 30p clip into a 24p timeline... Well, anyway, the easiest solution is to just convert the footage to 24p using Cinema Tools or something.
 
I wish it was that easy... I converted it to 24 fps before making this post but it still didn't sync up. Also, another camera was set at 30 fps but it synced up with the other clips without any conversions.

I marked two points on the clip and reduced the speed to make it sync. The speed went to around 80% and matches up now.
