What's the purpose of 1080/24p? - Blu-ray Forum

enialal · 01-27-2009, 02:38 PM

Guys I'm wondering what's the purpose of the 24 frames per second settings? 1080/24p right?

I use it but I don't know its purpose so I think I should know it.

What does it do to your movie? What effects or something like that..

Please use some "newbie" terms so I could easily understand.

I think 24 frames correspond to the amount of frames shown on the theater screens so here we have a purpose of harmonization. as for P meaning Progressive, it's just that the hitherto interlaced frames shown on TV do not yield the best possible picture (since each frame is in fact half a frame). So with Progressive frames you have entire frames going one after the other.

So the bottom line is: the purpose of having 1080/24P video is because it's a major improvement over the 480 interlaced frames of TV programs.

Yeah I know already about the "p" but is there a difference watching 1080p? and 1080/24p?

You've got 1080p/60 and 1080p/24. The video resolution is the same. The frame rate is different. Be more specific, because your question is not completely clear?

I mean what effects or changes does that 24p brings to the movie?

film is 24 frames per second, so the BDs are 1080p24. Most TVs refresh much more then 24 frames a second if your TV is 60Hz, then the only difference is who brings it from 24->60, but if your TV is 120Hz then why go 24->60->120
