I do not understand why 24 is a better way to go than 29.97. I do not
pretend to understand very much of any of this. But, every expert I
talk to seems to have a different answer. All I want to do is be able
to make a dvd with my handpainted films showing at approximately
silent speed which seems like is would be exactly half of the 29.97.
And I understand that when you telecine transfer at 29.97 you are
getting every frame. I could either do a rate change in fcp to "15
frames per second" or figure out how to have fcp do every frame
twice. I have to then convey this to the friend who helps me with
the fcp work.
