I can understand that 50p would not be supported in BD, but 25p? That makes little sense since here in NTSC-land the lowly DVD players support 30p. It seems odd that a newer disk format would abandon functionality that major studios utilize and consumers seem to want.

I did a little quick checking around and couldn't find any information to confirm or deny 25p support in BD. The best way to find out for sure is probably to read the BD spec and find out what it will support, then check the specs of some of the commercially available BD players in your area to see what they will do.

I'd read the BD spec but it's a bit dry and makes me sleepy.
