24f 2:3:3:2 and strange motion at DVinfo.net

I just rented an XL-H1 and this is my first time filming in 24f. I was filming in SD 16:9 24f and noticed that the motion looked sort of jerky through the viewfinder (not like typical 24p). When I pan it's like the camera goes through several frames, pauses and then jerks to catch up. So I went through the menus and changed the mode from 2:3:3:2 to 2:3 -- now the motion looks more like 24p.

My problem: I've recorded a lot of footage in 2:3:3:2 already - how do I import this footage into FCP without it having that strange 'jerking' motion? I know this is 24p vs. 24pA. These two modes look identical in my HVX-200 and DVX-100 so I'm worried that all of my footage is going to look jerky when I import.

Thanks ahead of time!
