You beat me to it. But surely, you mean grammar, not grammer?!!
An example of Muphry's Law: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry's_law
Steve.
ok..I finally have reached the limit of my patience with this pet peeve.I'm going to write a grammer ticket.
Folks...I will say this once for all to the otherwise extremely articulate members of this wonderful forum...If FEWER people would say"less people",I would be LESS frustrated.(or do you say FEWER frustrated?hmmm?)
Muphry's law is an adage that states that "If you write anything criticising editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written." The name is a deliberate misspelling of Murphy's law.
I wish this crap would just go away--high frame rates look terrible for movies.
I can't stand the look of 30fps+ in cinematic applications. In other media, such as video games or television, it's fine, but there's something about the look of a movie playing at 30+fps that is extremely offputting to me...it almost imparts a low-budget look in my opinion.
It would be nice if they archived to film. However, if the originals are on magnetic tape ("video" archive), then digital is a step up in some ways (so long as they run the expensive hamster wheel of backups and upgrades). Magnetic tapes "fade."Germany's largest public TV Station had started to digitise all their video archive. That may include advanced physical restoring means.
Could be the TV settings. I've never seen problems like that with analog movies at the theatre - there is an whole persistence of vision thing that has something to do with frame-rates; so stutter is likely not the frame-rate itself. I believe TVs use 29 or 30 fps (regardless of what the original used) - at least in the States (NTSC).Am I the only one who thinks the motion-stutter at 24 fps looks terrible? It's particularly visible when the shot is panning.

On the other hand, I've seen problems on DVDs of old movies. During the opening scene of It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, my friends were enjoying it while I instead noticed all the combing and pixelation.
I picked up an old broken Laserdisc player hoping to play with the laser. It was 2nd generation and had a solid state laser- so I fixed it instead and got some old discs. I was very surprized with the ocean scenes in Hunt for Red October - absolutely flawless, no artifacts at all. Then again, Laserdiscs were analogue (FM modulation, I believe).
