Okay, I understand what 3:2 pulldown is and how it works, but I have some simple questions I was not able to find the answers to when searching the forums...
1) What happens if there is no 3:2 pulldown? Will a one minute film clip play back in 48 seconds? Is the image quality just not going to be as sharp? I simply don't understand this as a one hour movie being shortened to 48 minutes would be unbearable to watch, right? Thus I would assume that 3:2 pulldown would be needed in every single DVD player making it a trivial thing for the actual TVs to implement.
2) How does 3:2 effect a HDTV as opposed to regular NTSC television? Or is there no difference in how 3:2 is needed on both TV types? I see it as DVD is DVD, and it needs 3:2 pulldown to show film at 30 fps.
3) What are considered "film based" mediums that are effected by the 24 fps to 30 fps (60 fields)? DVD and LD, right? What about VHS, Cable and Sat: Are these not effected in any way?
Thanks for any help. I hope these questions are not as simple as they seem because I spent a bit of time searching on the topic before actually posting.
