By the way, did you notice my problems (BUG?) here:

I am not sure to understand what you mean by pulldown. 

>From what I read on Internet, the HV20 as a native 1920x1080 CMOS
captor. It can stream native 1920x1080 full frames when connected
through DMI. Somes people use the HV20 connected to a laptop for best
quality.

When operating in other modes, the images are always reduced from the
original 1920x1080 format. The best operation mode is 1080-24p, because
it provides full-frames. But the camera can operate in other modes, such
as 1080i and even PAL-DV.

You are a lucky guy. It is probably the best camcorder around at
consumer price. To operate in 1080-24p, you only have to switch it to
cinema mode, I guess.

All kind of test footage, in raw format, can be found here:
