HI Neil
I do not know enough about Blu Ray in particular, but as far as I know there's still no good method today to create a good looking 24-25 or 25-24 picture conversion apart from speeding the footage up/down. Of course you could do what we did in the old days of video to the picture on videotape, just add one extra stop frame a second, but that comes with its own perils with less than perfect sync (+- almost a frame) and ugly camera pans.

But it does sound weird that the most modern home videoformat today shouldnt be able to handle the most common video speeds as well as film speeds.
