Eric - in my other thread, even though my timecode burn for Quicktime ref was in 59.94 timecode, the DVCProHD tape I laid back to actually had 29.97 timecode on it.. go figure. Now I've started wondering... what if the tape I needed to lay back to actually had 59.94 timecode on it? Pro Tools wouldn't lock to that. So I'd have to give my editor a bounce and have him do it. We're going to set up some tests later in the week to see how this goes and if it's something we need to have a workflow solution for.

rhumphries - Thanks for bringing this up. I haven't come across that yet. Can this problem be avoided by never using DF when pulling down from 23.98 to 29.97?
