If you were to implement an uncompressed capture system, with its attendent analog capture card and high-speed RAID array, it wouldn't really be too hard at all. The JVC can output 24P within a 60P stream, so you could capture the 60p output and drop out the duplicate frames, giving you a genuine 24p file.
As near as I can tell, the 24P of the JVC is output to 60p by simple frame duplication: two 24p frames are output as five 60p frames, so 24p frames a,b,c,d get written out to 60p as aa,bbb,cc,ddd. You'd have to capture the 60p frames, and then drop 6 out of every 10 frames, leaving one copy of a, one copy of b, one copy of c, and one copy of d.
There should be none of the image degradation you get with other systems, because there's no frame interlacing/combining/field blending going on. It's raw distinct progressive frames.
