OK, I've got a couple of things I need to figure out before I get to work on remastering one of my older videos using DVD source this afternoon.
First off, I'll be editing the remaster in 24fps. But, the original video (which I have the file of) is in 30fps. I need to have the old video on the timeline in Premiere to be able to make sure I get my cuts to match up with the original ones, so I need to convert it from 30 to 24. What is the best way to do this? I assume I can't just import it into Premiere and toss it on the timeline (or can I?).
Second, once the remaster is done, I will need to convert the finished file back to 30(29.97)fps- I need to record it off to tape, and the highest-quality method I have of doing so is to make an SVCD and record a tape from the DVD player playing the SVCD. The guides (and posts in this forum) go into great length about IVTC, but I couldn't find much at all about telecining footage when a 30fps source from a 24fps edit is required. Is TMPGEnc's telecine good enough to just pull in the 24fps finished video, set it to SVCD settings, and hit 'Start'? Or would using avisynth to convert it to 30fps first be better? And if so, what would the likely best settings be? I really want the quality of this to be as good as possible (moreso than usual).
Thanks!
