David Dean,  655/24 is NTSC not PAL and I would think you would need a scan converter to be able to use them.

>>I have been sent some 2" Quads that were recorded by Image Transform
    to 655 Line 24FPS NTSC Colour. I was wondering if any body knew of a
    process to play these back recovering the colour and as many lines
    as possible and also to record - capture them. I have thought long
    and hard and the best answer I have is to treat them as 625 25FPS
    NTSC Colour suffering the loss of some lines, unless you know
    better. I obviously do not have a 655 line 24P NTSC SPG, but can
    look at adapting an AVR 2 or VR 2000 system to play back correctly.
    The question then is what to do with it to record or capture the
    signal. Has anybody had any experience of working with this system,
    how to convert a machine to replay it, and how to save it?
