Can you convert 30fps to 24

The frames are displayed longer? Interesting, but how does this work? I understand how a TV will shorten the displayed lengths of frames from 24 fps footage. And I now understand how that would alter the film motion. But what about the other way around?

What if I shoot at 30 fps, then convert to 24 fps, and project the revised footage at 24 fps? How are the frames displayed longer? Basically, how does the conversion extend the displayed lengths of frames? Are parts are the frames frozen to make the frames last longer and fill up the extra time? Are the frames slightly slowed? Or is the extra time filled with blank spaces at the end of each frame, which you can't actually see? I downloaded the Magic Bullet demo to see how I like the conversion, but I'm still curious to know how it actually works.

If you have 24 frames displayed at 24 fps you are seeing 1 second, right? If you have 30 frames displayed at 30 fps you are also seeing 1 second, right? Which is logicaly since the amount of frames per second changes and so does the exposure or time a picture is up.

But that's just an "opinion". June 3rd, , PM James Ball. PAL video can be converted without dropping frames. And this post is for 24 fps btw, not 25 fps.
