SONY HDV camera (Z5U) shot 1080i 24p. That's right, 1080i 24p is the readout on the camera's display. Using a SONY Z7U as a deck. Firewire. Having capture issues - same issues on MCA (HP8400) at work and Mac Pro (intel quad core) at home. Both systems up-to-spec.
Have newest versions of MS and FCP. Neither can see this format without burping timecode error messages every two seconds. In short, I've created EVERY project type in MC and tweaked every possible setting in FCP's video settings. Even turned off timecode in the capture window. Burp. "Cannot record this format without timecode selected."
Totally able to capture 30i NTSC no problem... but obviously I'm going to have to online this thing in HD soon.
Clues? I'll even accept After Effects as an answer at this point!

Chris,
I'm assuming you have HDV ON A TAPE, and you are having issues capturing. I can tell you that Sony has 24p (progressive scan sensors on this camera) HDV but it adds 3:2 pulldown creating 60i so that it will play on any NTSC monitor. The 24p look is in this 60i recording. Your easy setup should be HDV 60i and with many NLE's like Final Cut you can remove this pulldown if you choose to capture as Pro Rez.
