confusing

Hello Jason. I wrote here a couple months ago about some 'choppy' video with the 24p 3:2 method rendering back to 29.97. The process is flawed and video doesn't look proper after rendering back to 29.97 NTSC. I do not know why magic bullet even tells people to do so in the manual. It doesn't work.

This is a quote from Barend,
"But for film transfer it makes a lot more sense to avoid that last step of recompression and pulldown. Export to a 24fps image sequence (I use 16-bit .sgi sequences) and send it to the transfer house on a firewire drive or if it's short-format burn a couple of dataDVD's"

Then I was told the 3:2 pulldown was for making DVD's and stuff to be seen on TV. But then I asked, "Well what about the stuttery pans I was complaining about in the first place? They are still going to be there when I do what you say."

"I'm not a DVD expert by any means, so you might want to solicit better advice from somewhere else, but I would think that you could process your video using MB and end up with a 23.976 master, which could then be burned onto the DVD at that frame rate. When the DVD is played back the hardware decoder will apply the pulldown on the fly.

So what I learned is never render back to 29.97 NTSC with the 3:2 pulldown.
Have fun.
