Reviewing some older clips today, transferred into iMovie sometime
ago, lo and behold I find a project in NTSC. Sure enough there are
29 and a bit frames per second and the extra seem to have been
generated by repeitition of one of the parent 25 PAL frames.
How can this happen? More importantly can I convert back again? I
suspect QT PRO will do it for me. Alternatively, I know I have the
original footage but on which roll and where on that roll?!

For future reference one might adopt something similar to this!
