shot 60i SD but meant to shoot 24p

I have an hour timeline with a completed edit and after watching the timeline's DVD I think I'd prefer if it was shot 24p or 30p.

Is it as simple as setting the timeline property to "30p" and render my MPG2 files as 30p as well?

I don't really need magic bullet although I think I have it in my toolset ... I just wonder if it's as easy as rendering my MPG2 files with 'none' or 'progressive' set under fields. Or should I let DVD Architect do it; I noticed a 'remove interlace' button for each media sources and menu property.

Just change your properties to 24P - it really is that simple. MB will help with film-like diffusion or curves, but it won't do anything about the cadence of the motion blur that you get from the reduced frame rate. Vegas handles this very nicely.

Wow that's awesome.

So when it's time to render MPG 2 to DVDA is there an option for 24 fps MPG files or do I stick with 30i and let Vegas create some sort of 3:2 pulldown?

Thank you!!!

Vegas has a 24P render preset for DVDA (both 4:3 and widescreen) in the Main Concept MPG2 set.

I haven't done this myself, so I am not sure of this, but you may want to disable resample for each event in order to get clean pulldown. Try a short sample, and see what it looks like on your target playback device.

Pardon my intrusion but if what was shot was truly 60i and not 24p with pulldown, wouldn't it work best with some form of de-interlacing?

If so Mike Crash's Smart De-Interlacer has worked well for me but that would probably only work going from 60i to 30p.

All that aside, I'm wondering what looked wrong with the native 60i. Without knowing we could be giving the wrong advice completely.
