before this gets into a comedy routine...
it will use 29.97fps if you live in a country that uses NTSC which is
most of North America and South America and also Japan. Europe (and the
scandinavian countries?) use PAL which would be 25fps, THEREFORE, myth
will use 25fps in those countries...
in other words, mythtv is not converting the framerate from your
countries native cable system it is leaving it at whatever your cable
provider is pushing up the pipe.
is it clearer now?
