PC software (PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc) can play back at 24fps.
Where's that hidden setting?
Btw, software like Sony's SoundForge works well for speed and pitch shifting ("well" being relative). For a whole discussion check out the early part of the thread for my transfer. I had originally intended to just slow Mother's audio down, which of course wouldn't work, but all the technical ins-and-outs were brought up.
To be fair at least 23.976 is close. Until there's a true 24 fps home format it'll have to do.
If the lines of resolution bother you get an HD-DVD/BluRay Player.
Anyone with a tin ear can hear how bad 25 fps sped up audio is. Those extra lines of resolution mean squat in comparison.
Frankly I'd go so far as to say 99% of all film (for theatrical release) is shot at 24 fps regardless of country. The rare times you'll find true 25 fps film is when the destination is expected to be TV in a PAL country. Even the U.S. shoots it's TV at 24 fps instead of 30.
You do find the odd 30 fps shots in anime for smoothness but in those cases it's not 100% and you find hybrid framerate video which is a whole other discussion.
