i'm afraid you are totally incorrect there. Slowing it down does not create any extra artefacts at all. the encode is done at the 25fps speed and then the frame rate is changed only. No other encoding process is happening at all. so its impossibly for any extra artefacts to be there. And Europe does have 1080p braodcasts because the BBCHD channel broadcasts 1080p and not 1080i which is the more common.

Please explain how you can take something that's captured at 25fps, slow it down and stretch it to 24fps and NOT include any artifacts? Unless you're not doing the stretch, that would be impossible.

you just change the framerate after the encode in the video information. its really easy and quick. you're only changing the information specs that the equipment reads to play it back and nothing else. its exactly the same encode right down to the last pixel. it plays back at the different frame rate. nothing else. the video is speeded up for PAL, with no extra frames added, so slowing it down to 24fps is easy. and with HD resolutions they are universal. its only when you come to DVD with the differences between PAL & NTSC that you have to re-encode the video, due to the horizontal lines being 480 for NTSC and 576 for PAL, but if you are working from a lossless master then they will still be the same
