Re: mixing formats 1080psf 23.976 and 1080 50i

Gary, That camera is simply for insert action shots M.O.S. If it had a 24p function I would use it however that Z1 HDV camera does not, I'm not doing any in camera conversions, I was planning on shooting 1080 50i on the Z1, transfering that to an HDcam machine at 50i, taking that 50i HDcam tape and with the F500 play it back at 23.98 which the F500 deck would combine the interlaced filds into frames (with temporal distortion) and then play those frames back at a slower speed, 23.98. No frame blending, no interframes, simple interlace into progressive and a speed change. No audio etc. I though that maybe there might be a way to achieve the same effect in the computer?
