hmm, I thought changing FPS was impossible without dropping frames


When 24p films are converted to 25p for PAL home video, they fit the 24 frames (the first second) from the film into the first 24 frames of the video, then they take the first frame from the second second on the film and add it as the last frame (frame 25) on the first second of the video. And so on. Thus, PAL runtimes are shorter because they play all the frames, faster.
