Personally, I would convert from 15fps to 30fps, and then use VDub to set the rate to 29.999fps (if you feel it is really necessary).

The reason being (apart from your destination) is that MotionPerfect will then always generate a frame exactly in between the existing frames. I would imagine that doing 15->24 would not work as well. Mind you, having only used MP once (it didn't work with my source - unusual content ) I can't say I have a lot of experience in this area.
hi,

it's not by choice that i us 15fps ! I have a very tiny Canon S230 which does 640x480 vids at 15fps.

HOWEVER - i have *very* good results using deshaker now and MP....not perfect - but far better than ther original vids.
(I guess the 15fps are what you have to live with when you have a cam which would fit into the palm of your hand....still love it because of it's size

Regarding the fps:

I did some testing, but still need more. You're right, MP generates frames in between when i do exacly 30fps (and NOT 29.97 ....however i have to figure out stll whether the results aer better than with 23.976 fps. Reason is a) File size...and b) the fact that twice as much fps via MP means that half of the movie is 'artifcial' while with 24fps only ~60% of frames are added by MP.
