As I am going through the gout DVDs a few question come to mind. I am noticing a lot of pull down issues. When ripping the DVDs the properties of the mpeg2 are 720x480 23.98fps.

My question is this, where the DVDs created from the the same master that created the laserdisc, or were the DVDs actually created from the laserdisc?

Were laserdisc players able to handle 23.98 content, or was the laserdisc a 29.97 (25pal) framerate?

The gout DVDs may have already gone through two frame rate conversions, first going to the laserdisc, and second going to the DVD. This surely will cause many of the motion problems we are seeing. Not to mention the technology to do the conversion was no where near as good in 93 as it is now.
