But are there really 59.94 frames per second in a 720p project? I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The last D-5 HD tape I worked with that was 720p/59.94 had a timecode track of 29.97. I've never heard of 59.94 fps timecode, but wouldn't SMPTE have found a way to make that possible if there were truly 59.94 fps?

I don't wish to hijack the thread, but if this is going to be a sticky, its important that this be cleared up, even if I am wrong on this point.
