Considering the capability of some commercial TV sets using motion compensated frame-rate upconversion to give a video look to film-originated material , getting from 24p to 75i or 100i(DVD), it would be surprising that a proper conversion could not achieve the 60 Hz look based on 50 Hz input. And what about a comparison between true 60 Hz and 100 hz created from 50 Hz capture? If you can achieve the same look while shooting in 50 Hz you can use less bandwidth or more reasonable compression ratios. Or is it really impossible to get the showscan look without true 60 Hz capture? > From: "Stephen W.
