Some DVD player software can slow down playback to the original 24 fps. I don't know of any stand-alone DVD player that can do this though.
My hope is that the coming HD-formats will do as you say. I think hardware is ready for it. It would save disk space also..

THX isn't talking about PAL! What's your point?
