Movies (also on DVD) are not 12-15 fps, they are 24 fps.

Most consumer camera's shoot in 30 fps/60i (29.97 to be exact)
interlaced if you are in NTSC country (25 fps/50i in PAL countries)

Some camera's can shoot progressive 30p, 25p or 24p.

I'm not following you on your last question. Do you wonder why
it looks so good compared to cable? If so, perhaps you should
ask why the cable (if it is HD) looks so bad.

2:3 pulldown is the method to store 24 fps inside a 30fps (29.97)
NTSC signal and be able to totally restore that. What happens
is that the frames are split up into two fields and for the second
frame one field is repeated, see the following link:

http://www.adamwilt.com/24p/#24pRecording
(Under "How is 24p recorded? What's the difference between 24p and 24p Advanced?")

So the original frame sequence was:

AA BB CC DD (4 frames / 8 fields)

this becomes the following in 2:3 pulldown:

AA BB BC CD DD (5 frames / 10 fields)

This produces a 30 fps signal from a 24 fps source. On the new
24p camera's there is also a new option called 2:3:3:2 pulldown
which generates the following sequence:

AA BB BC CC DD (5 frames / 10 fields)

If you want to know more about the difference between these
two methods see the following thread:

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...threadid=34703

So to sum it up:

Film (and film on DVD) is 24 fps. You can pull that down (is what
a DVD player does normally on playback) to 30 fps (called 2:3
pulldown).
