HD TV 60 fps to 29.97 fps

[JohnnieButters]

I have recently purchased a HD Capture Card and it works great for Video Games. But as far as HD TV, i'm having a issue. Now from what i understand HD TV in America is 59 fps. But YouTube only accepts 30 fps Max. So my Goal has been to Convert to 29.97 fps and not just because of YouTube, I just think it looks better to my eyes, vs 60 fps. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, and my basic encode is to Open it in Premiere, and export it to a uncompressed avi at 29.97 fps. Than i do my final tweaks in Virtualdub, then export. Problem is, The video is not exactly smooth as it should be. Now i have a SD Capture Card and it captures Uncompressed at 30 fps no problem. I have never had to deal with this before so i'm quite new to this HD thing.


Any Suggestions?

30 fps is never smooth. It will appear to flicker or strobe whenever there is bright, high contrast, motion. See the 24v30v60 video in this post:
