Should we attempt to watch Star Wars (original trilogy) in true 24p? — Page 2

Ok I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong. I was mistaken. I was explaining it as I understood it based on what I was taught. Obviously what I was taught was incorrect, after further examination. I had no reason to doubt what I was taught since it really hasn’t made a difference in my career as basically everything is shot 23.976 these days.

Don’t appreciate the snide remark though, Darth Id, insinuating that I intentionally misled people. I don’t see how explaining things as I understood them based on my industry experience is a bad thing, even if my understanding turned out to be somewhat skewed.

What I am not sure about however is why keep it around even when modern equipment can shoot and project at exactly 24 fps?

To keep a consistent standard, and to support legacy hardware, would be my guess.
