24 fps is marketed as a cinematic feature on high end cameras. Living in Europe, my standard is pal 25 fps. So I don't see the big deal about this, or am I missing something?
No, if you live in Europe, you just shoot in 25p and you are done. You don't need to shoot in 24p, and best of all, you don't have to perform a pulldown removal -- which will save you time. The frames are all saved correctly in the tape because the HDV standard supports that mode.
