And also, I think, because of the "2:3 pulldown" method of transferring 24fps to
30 'fps' video (in the 'States.) The sum total of which probably looks like
additional blur, but only once every 2 (or three?) frames. Interestingly, what
I've read on-line is that DVDs themselves don't incorporate this telecine
'transfer method'--the DVD is recorded at 24 fps, 1:1 with the film speed--but
then the DVD player itself imposes the "2:3" thing, so that the player's output
is compatible with regular television. That was a new discovery for me, and
different from how VCR videotapes used to be transferred.
