Dylan,
When you work offline at DV and then "upres" via transcode later - are you limited to any specific frame rates?
For example can you work with both 1080i 59.94 and 23.98 fps material in the same project?
If footage is at 23.98 - does Avid get confused if you transcode to DV in SD (29.97) and then try to conform at 23.98?
Thanks for the info.
Jeff
