I have some 24fps footage that i want to export to tape. so, i need to hard telecine it up to 30. Can I do this in avisynth?

Yup, check out DGPulldown.

xxxsource("blah.xxx")
converttoyuy2()
selectevery(2,0,0,0,1,1) #generate 3:2 Pattern
assume?ff() #set the wished output fieldorder (TFF / BFF)
separatefields().selectevery(4,0,3).weave() # reinterlace

Please tell us, how you like to put it on tape.
(DV-AVI -> DV-Cam -> Tape or MPEG2 -> DVD -> Tape)

raw 24p avi > DV 30i AVI > DV tape.

[scharfis_brain]

which proportions has your raw AVI?
pixels, exact framerate, compression, etc.

[XviDEncoder]

720x540
24fps. (slowed it down to 23.976). RGB Uncompressed.
i was a little curious about resizing and keeping the ratio.
the final output will be NTSC DV.

you have two options for resing:

a) resize to 704x480

xxxsource("blah.xxx")

bicubicresize(704,480)
assumefps(23.976,true).ssrc(48000)
selectevery(2,0,0,0,1,1) #generate 3:2 Pattern
assume?ff() #set the wished output fieldorder (TFF / BFF)
separatefields().selectevery(4,0,3).weave() # reinterlace

b) if you wont resize in horizontal (recommended) you need to scale it to 720x492
and then you need to crop away 12 pixels. top and bottom 6 pixels each border.

xxxsource("blah.xxx")

bicubicresize(720,492).crop(0,6,0,-6)
assumefps(23.976,true).ssrc(48000)
selectevery(2,0,0,0,1,1) #generate 3:2 Pattern
assume?ff() #set the wished output fieldorder (TFF / BFF)
separatefields().selectevery(4,0,3).weave() # reinterlace
