Does PowerDVD automatically speed up NTSC dvd's to 30 fps? The reason I ask is that whenever I play dvd's in PowerDVD, the configuration says that the framerate is 30.00 per second. That's being pretty precise. Also, computer monitors can't display such a precise framerate as 29.97, so doesn't it have to speed it up to a rounded number like 30? Also, from time to time and depending on the soundscape of the movie, I've noticed a certain distortion in the audio of my dvd's while playing them in PowerDVD that I don't notice while playing them on a tv. Maybe it's just that my ears are noticing the lossy compression but I was wondering if it's actually the sped up audio.
Something I just remembered that might make my assumption incorrect is that my old roommate would hook up his nice 128megabyte video card on his computer to my small as hell sony trinitron tv so we could watch dvd's, and if it was a different framerate it wouldn't have worked on both his computer monitor and my tv at the same time, right?
