I'm also interested to see what people have to say on this.
I have the impression that HDCam hardly exists at all in Europe, whereas in the US many places are equipped for HDCam but not DCP. So these decisions also have to do with where you want to screen work more often. Having said which, whatever the formats involved, I would go for the original frame rate of the project itself whenever possible, if the sound track is any way important to you. I had the pleasure of doing sound design on my last project with a friend who was taking ten phone calls a day from a director he had just worked with on a documentary that contained a lot of music and was shot at 25fps. The director had agreed to have the DCP made at 24fps to avoid 'compatibility problems', and was almost going mad in the process... (In the end, they changed their minds, and went back to 25).

Just my 2 eurocents:

hey folks

I'm outputting a film to HD cam & have the option of doing it at 24fps (the project itself is 24fps) or 25fps (I'm making digibetas as well, so the framerate conversion is happening anyway) - any thoughts on which would be more useful?

there's also a DCP option, more expensive but I'm wondering would it be worth it? or is that just going to cause compatibility problems with different servers / platforms &c?

would be grateful for any thoughts on the matter
cheers! Moira
