Converting from 25fps to 24fps to make DCP in QuVis Wraptor

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone here has used QuVis Wraptor software to create a Digital Cinema Package. I have to prepare my feature film, shot on a Sony EX1 in full HD for theatrical and need to make a DCP. I shot at 25fps, but need to convert to 24fps to create the package. I edited in full resolution on FC Studio 2.

Questions: Can the 25fps -> 24fps conversion be made in FCP? Is there any quality loss / special tips when converting from 25 -> 24fps? What's the best compression to upres to from Full HD XDCam in FCP before conversion (to 24fps and to DCP)? ProRes 422 HQ? Any other tips on using Wraptor?
Thx! Appreciate any tips!

The easy way with PAL always is either to export the timeline with 25 fps and use CT to conform to 24 fps. or create a new (true) 24 fps sequence and add the 25 fps to that one.
You've to take care of the sound and pitch for that.
I haven't used Wraptor, but the way it works looks pretty straight forward.

If you got subtitles in FCP you can use my TitleExchange to get them right to DLP Cinema format

Hi Andreas,
Thx for the feedback. I have another question or two:
When you say, 'use CT', what are you referring to? What is CT?
Do you conform to 24 or 23.xx?
When you say 'create a new (true) 24fps sequence and 'add' the 25fps one to that', do you mean, create a new timeline and just open the old 25fps project on it?
How do you 'take care' of the sound and pitch?
Sorry, if I sound a bit daft, but I'm new to this process - have always worked in 35mm.
And thanks for offering use of your TitleExchange - I will certainly go and take a look at it!
Thx in advance!

Cinema Tools. There's a conform option, which is quite useful.

You have to conform to 24.

I never had to take care of that, I knew that the sound guys had to do it. But that can be done with Soundtrack Pro or a similar app pretty easy.
