It also helps with the viewing of DVDs movies.  Movies generally go at 
24 FPS, so the number of frames to be interpolated is constant.  With a 
frame rate that is not a multiple of 24 (such as 60, which is more or 
less the NTSC rate), some frames get played twice and some get played 
three times.  The difference is noticeable to some observers.
