HV20.com has some good information on this, but basically:

"After you shoot in 24p and capture you will need to remove the 3:2 pulldown that the camera adds (there are a number of ways to do this) to extract the pure 24p content. Once you have your 24p content you are good to go you can edit and upload to web (after compression) and to DVD mastering (staying within the 24p workflow)"

My basic understanding is that the camera shoots 24p, but puts it in a 60i wrapper, which then when imported into Final Cut / Etc, it imports it as 60i unless you take the necessary steps to fix it.

Nice footage - I was at the race as well (right on the start / finish line). It would be cool to go back with a better mic setup and see how much of the noise you can get with the cars going by.

I am getting my HV30 delivered this week - really looking forward to it!
