| i have struggled with this as well, finding that most references do not adequately explain the intricacies.
i feel like a more simple explanation is this: (if i'm right)
24p is to 60i (30fps)
as
23.98p is to 59.94i (29.97fps)
via 2:3 pulldown.
meaning, you must slow the frame rate of 24p by .1% in order to successfully convert to an interlaced NTSC video framerate.
right?
here's my question...
i keep hearing that DVD is 24p, and that the player performs the pulldown for NTSC output. but it must actually be 23.98p that's coded onto the medium, right? |
