interlaced mode shoots differently than progressive.
interlaced mode captures the odd numbered fields first (field 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, etc) then captures the even number fields next (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc). It then assembles the fields together to make one full frame. Because it captures this way, it has to capture twice as many frames than progressive scan mode (explained below). since each frame only contains HALF of the fields necessary to make a full frame, the camera combines the two frames together (combining the odd and even fields) to make one frame, effectively halving the frame rate (from 60fps to 30fps).
Progressive mode (30p) captures differently. Instead of capturing the odd fields then the even fields and combining the two together to make one frame, it captures the fields in sequence (field 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc). This gives a much better image and this is how film cameras capture the image (progressively).

These two articles explain it in a general way. If you can understand those, then what I wrote will make sense.

Yes. Take the 60i footage you shot in slow it to 40% of it's speed on your 24p timeline.
This assumes your editor intelligently deinterlases and separates the fields turning them into frames.

Just think of 30P as the DVX's version of "Over Cranking" LOL.....
