Brian Drysdale Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 25fps is the current standard for European television. Theatrical is 24 fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mi Ki Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 So all european movies needs to be coverted to 25 fps for TV and Blu-ray/DVD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It depends if they're mainly made for television. They commomly just transmit at 25 fps rather than convert as such, they may do a pitch shift for the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted August 17, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 17, 2015 On HD, 24, 25, 30 are acceptable world wide, the player does the conversion as the color standard is the same. On SD, 24 is acceptable world wide (the player does the conversion if necessary), but 25 is PAL color only and 30 is NTSC color only.

Brian Drysdale Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 European broadcast HD TV productions are shot at 25 fps, what happens for distribution aterwards is another matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freya Black Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 As far as DVD goes a Region 0 NTSC DVD can be played worldwide without issue. The player just handles it. Obviously it's lower res than a PAL DVD however (480p vs 576p) Freya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
