Does that mean that "the vast majority of Europeans" don't mind
watching picture and sound at a speed that is 4% higher than the film
acquisition rate?

The 3:2 pull-down that 60Hz demands for showing film looks truly
appalling to the vast majority of Europeans. It's really horrid. NTSC
dvds sold here are rapidly junked in favour of proper ones, not only
sharper but much more regular smooth motion. From time to time, a
purchase deal for a US film-made programme goes wrong and we get a
standards-conversion of the 59.94Hz video instead of a proper rescan
of the film. Phone lines get hot with the public complaints.
