30p DV?!

I shot a short video clip for my bro using my Canon Elura 20 with 30p-yes that's right, setting and FCP nor Avid Express Pro can't reconigze the video stream! Argh! Since he's doing animation project, I thought 30p-it's progressive frames!, would serve him better but it can't work when I can't import the damn video to computer! Argggh!

I've been prowling the net to find a solution, but no avail. Any post wizard out there lead me to a solution? I don't understand why there's 30p DV option if the programs can't capture this. Otherwise, I would have to shoot this whole thing again tomorrow. Sigh.
