That's an amazing tutorial. Any reason not to just use Virtualdub's default IVTC though? I suppose I should run a few comparison tests between regular IVTC and DV2Film to find out.
The camera (so far as I can tell) literally does not have an actual 24 mode, just that simulated PF24 garbage which (hard codes?) duplicated 5th frames -- i.e. ABCDEEABCDEEABCDEEABCDEEABCDEE. So I suppose that explains why Premiere won't automatically execute a pulldown, because as far as it's concerned the video is 29.97 progressive and doesn't need it.
