plus it gets automatically IVTC'd back to the original 24 full frames per second (technically 24000/1001 FPS [~23.976 FPS]) when played on a progressive scan DVD player (and pretty much all DVD players are capable of progressive scan).
For hard 3:2 pulldown: This is only true if there are no wonky cadence changes; pretty unusual on DVD, but very common on LD.
For soft 3:2 pulldown: I'll concede that NTSC is superior to PAL on DVD.
