Michael,
CF25 is a simple field duplicator. You lose half of your vertical resolution (540 vertical, that's less than progressive SD PAL!). If you were to shoot normal 50i and use an adaptive...

Ah, FRAME mode. Well, if you want to maintain the speed of the clip, it won't convert to 24p very well. All of the manuals and help files for the conversion software will say as much. ...

Corey,
When you say 30fps, are you referring to normal interlaced 60i footage, or progressive 30p footage (with the Canon FRAME mode)? 60i will convert well to 24p using a variety of methods. ...

You need to do some more research on the CF24 feature of your camera. You will find that it is unacceptable. You will lose half the resolution of your images and still not get true 24 fps...
