 Also, = DCP format is still stuck at 24.000fps for universal standard and 29.97p = to 24 fps looks like dirt regardless of your budget. While 23.976 to = 29.97 is a visually seamless conversion.
If = you real need smooth motion/live feel, skip 29.97 and go 59.94p. That is = truly smooth and big difference over 24fps = feel.
