Squeeze Mode Capture - What did I do wrong?

Previously, I had shot in letterbox mode and 24P Advanced.

When I captured everything came into FCP perfectly.

Now, I am trying to shoot in squeeze mode and 24P Advanced.

When I capture, it comes in but it looks funky. 3 frames in a row look fine and then the 4th frame looks like a combo of 2 frames, and then this pattern repeates over and over.

I thought the only cpature setting I had chnaged was to click the anamorphic checkbox, but I must have done something wrong.

Can anyone tell me what setting to check because I don't think it is handling the 2:3:3:2 pulldown correctly?

Thanks,

Chris

Double check that Advance Pulldown Removal is selected in the A/V prefs on capture and that your sequence is set to 23.98fps

Also note for Print to Tape purposes you can select the pulldown to add when playing back since it will playback to video at 30fps.

Here are my capture settings:

Use this preset when capturing 24fps NTSC material recorded in Advanced Pulldown (2:3:3:2) mode with DV FireWire input and output using DV FireWire.

Using DV Video for video input
AG-DVX100A using NTSC
23.98 frames per second
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC at Best quality.
24 bits per pixel
720 by 480 (Anamorphic 16:9)
Using DV Audio for audio input
Input: First 2 channels
Rate: 48.000 kHz
Speaker: off
Volume: 100, Gain: 0

Are you in fact using the Advanced Pulldown Removal for capture? Doesn't seem like it giving your notes.
Are you viewing on the computer or after goign back out to DV video?
If you're viewing the fianl DV output then it will have added in 3:2 pulldown (telecine) depending on your settings and this is what you shoudl be seeing. (blended frames into fields)

I am selecting the capture setting that says use for 2:3:3:2 and advanced pulldown.

Is there another place where I actually have to specify advanced pulldown?
