Raw DV stream pulldown, FS-100 question

Hi all!
New to the forums, would appreciate some help. I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, I tried searching for it.
So here goes... I shot a short film using the Panasonic AG-HVX200 and the FS-100 external hard drive. Because we shot using DVCPRO50, the only format options I had available to me on the FS-100 were RAW DV and P2. I made the boneheaded decision to use RAW DV.
We shot in 24PA and then at one point I switched the camera to 24P (not a big deal since I can tell the difference between 2:3:3:2 and 3:2 by looking at individual frames). The problem: Cinema Tools won't work on raw DV streams. Even when I convert one of my .dv files to .MOV (still with DVCPR050 compression) using QuickTime or FCP Batch Export, the embedded flag (or whatever it is) that says "I'm a 24PA file" doesn't seem to carry over. At the end of it all, I have 24PA footage that Cinema Tools nor FCP will recognize has having removable advanced pulldown. Blah.
The original DV streams are still on the FS-100, but I wouldn't have the faintest clue as to how to live-capture all those individual clips (which all each start at 00:00:00 TC) where I could be removing the Advanced Pulldown on the fly.
