frame rate conversion 30-25fps

[funkytwig]

Hi. the source file I have is 30fps. The cinema says 30 sometimes causes them problems so am thinking of getting DCP-o-Matic to do a 30 to 25fps conversion. Is this likely to work well?

Not likely. The only chances you have is either a considerable slowdown, or jerky movement.

There are some better options with advanced video editing programs, but they are time consuming.

Handbrake is quite good at 30 to 24 conversion

Ime going to use Adobe Media encoder.

Any news here? I also need to do some 29,97 to 24 conversions.
Is Media Encoder ok for this and what would be best to use? (frame sampling/blending/optical flow?)

And should I convert 29,97 to 23,97 first, and then 23,97 to 24?
