Actually they run the film projector .1% slow to get 24000/1001 and then run a 3:2 pulldown on that to get 30000/1001. At least that's how I've had it explained to me. > you start with *progressive* material, after all there's nothing > more progressive than a strip of film. However, when you start > putting it on DVD you have the following 3 choices: Thanks for chiming in. Hmmm, you interested in becoming a mjpegtools developer? We could use some new ideas/code, etc :-) But I think you are conflating 3:2 pulldown and interlacing. They're not necessarily _both_ needed. The repeat first field, etc is needed so that a progressive scan DVD player (coupled to a progressive scan TV set of course) can reconstruct the progressive frames > P.S.
