HELP: vertical flickers converting 60i to 24p

I am trying to achieve a film look from footage shot with a SONY

PD150 NTSC at 60i, 1/60 shutter speed and rendered in Vegas

5.0d in order to achieve a film look.

I have rendered to 24P, 30P and also tried reduce interlace flicker,

blend fields and interpolate fields in my experiments, and burned

these using DVDA 2. The end results looks great...but, I am

always getting some vertical flickers where the camera pans from

left to right and right to left.

I also tried tried Ultimate S demo / film look and I still get these

annoying vertical flickers.

Is there a way to avoid this, have I missed something ?
Will a 24p camera be better than trying transforming 60i footage in

vegas?

Thanks,
Robert

Are you 100% certain these flickers are in the rendered footage?
I've seen these in the preview window, probably something odd with how it gets updated. When rendered out and viewed on an external monitor they're not there.
Of course the best way to shoot 24p is with a 24p camera, same goes with any tool, I've use a screwdriver as a chisel, wouldn't recommend it though.

yes, the flickers are on the rendered file and anytime the camera pans at a moderate speed, the vertical flickers are visible on an NTSC monitor.
