Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: My point was more that really fast motion looks better on TV than movie

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"][quote name="blackwater"]And I don't think anyone disagrees with that. But... since you mentioned it... calling NTSC "25 fps" seems kind of questionable. I mean you are seeing something different every 1/50th of a second with NTSC. It may be the same amount of bandwidth as a 25 FPS progressive signal, but we are not talking about bandwidth here, are we?[/quote] NTSC is 29.97 frames/sec, not 25. I suspect that it's to be compatible with the 60 HZ sine wave of U.S. AC current. PAL/SECAM is 25 because in Europe and the (now former) Warsaw Pact countries they use 50 HZ current. [/quote]
