HI Ken the way we do it is to take the 720 camera tapes with the flags using
the 1700 Deck we play out to 1080 24 into DS.
The deck will remove the unwanted frames and play only the 24 flagged frames
and convert the timecode to 24 frame.
This way you don't have to lay back to 720/24 introducing pulldown. The
Flagged camera tapes have a form of pulldown but the flags make the removal
of the 24 discreet frames more accurate with no artefacts. Master out to D5
preferably or HDCAM SR or HDcam if you must.
Finally you could export Tiff TGA or SGI files to disk for the shoot out to
film check with your film house what they prefer.
Our crowd down here don't like the Cineon files because they introduce a
standard cineon LUT which cannot be edit by there system.
They prefer doing the linear to log conversion using there own LUT.
I hope this makes sense.
