Its been a while since I actually worked with these things, but IIRC it wasn't a rounding error but was just a conscious (though poor) choice. Technically NTSC video is 30 frames per second where every 30 seconds (or so - IIRC) you skip one frame. On average its 29.997 frames per second. I don't remember why and can't be bothered to open wikipedia. -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
