FRAME mode finishing question
 

I've shot my documentry film using XM-2 Frame mode... now i'm before the finishing stage... going to do it in Avid Symphony... and was wondering if FRAME mode is to be considered as 25P for the Symphony stage or not. what are the benefits of such a decleration regarding quality and workflow ? is there any disadvantages ? I know I can treat it as 25i... but is there any diffrence ?

TIA,
Alon.
