I shot a music video this past week with the DVX100A in regular 24p mode not 24p advanced. I've been looking around the web for some answers to some questions I have about editing in 24p.
In FCP I can capture 24p footage at 29.97 or 23.98. It's my understanding that if you're going back out to video for output it doesn't matter if you capture the footage at 29.97 or 23.98...right?
Technically the miniDV tape inside the camera is running at 29.97. So I can just capture and edit the footage at 29.97 because it's going back out to video or being outputted at 29.97.
The only advantage I would have at capturing and editing in 23.98 is to save hard drive space right? Since I'm not outputting the footage to film I don't need to edit the footage at 24fps or 23.98? Or am I totally wrong on this assumption?
I found another thread that touched on the subject but doesn't really answer my question about editing 24p footage.

If this has been answered elsewhere I apologize. I did try looking thru old posts for some answers.
Any help would be appreciated.
