Hello,
I have read recently that typical films (24 fps) are transferred to PAL (50 half-frames per second) simply... INCREASING SPEED ABOUT A 4%! This has me floored. They say that a 4% is not an issue... is this a joke? I am specially concerned about any films with musical content. A 4% speed increase will certainly alter pitch, even the whole "musical message"... I have checked all the operas I have here, and thanks god it seems they are shot in PAL or NTSC. But what about all those musicals or operas shot in film? I even suspect that a plain talking voice changes noticeably with a 4% speed increase. Please tell me I am just mistaken... I thought this technology had reached higher levels... :-(
