Sorry I should have been clearer - a sync issue would only arise if we tried to represent every unique image from the 3:2 source in the 24p output without any duplicates, skipped frames or blended frames. The point I'm trying to make is that the source isn't really genuine 24p, it's in a way "hard coded" to 60hz if you want to see every unique image in the source as it was intended to be seen. eg. if the first frame of a new scene is combed, and only contains image data from that scene, then field 1 is an orphan field and can't be matched to anything by TFM so it ends up getting removed in the subsequent TDecimate. So the first image from that new scene is actually lost, whereas if the final output is 60p, that orphaned field could have the opportunity to get deinterlaced and shown in the output.
