Is 24p on its way out ?

Once again, I appreciate the PAL standard even more. Running at 25P, it's close enough to 24P and I doubt that any idle viewer would be able to tell the difference.

I remember reading/hearing somewhere that the reason 24p is such a beloved format (besides being used to that frame rate from the movies) is due to the slower than life playback. Our brains somehow find it easier to suspend disbelief when the movement isn't entirely real. Like, it plays back like a dream.

Who knows....

That would play at 24fps, but the timing between the frames wouldn't actually match that..
