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.
