I believe that when this was done Video was incapable of 24fps.

Is not video closer to 29 or 30 frames per second ?

I mean on Beta or VHS of the time period. Of course with Blu ray you can have 24fps.

Yes, 24fps video was, I believe, first used experimentally by ILM in the late 70's for preview of their stop-motion Tauntaun animation.

I never meant that the video device capturing the telecine was 24fps, that would still be 25 fps (PAL). I'm not sure how telecines of the day operated, but they only captured the original 24fps somehow, and stored it at 25fps, resulting in the sped-up playback. Maybe the film was run at 25 fps to accomodate PAL storage? I don't know. There are no extra frames interpolated for PAL, I know that.

My argument still stands, if this was camcorded there would be no PAL speedup on the bootleg. But we're all in agreement that this was telecined, so what am I arguing for? I'll stop now :-)
