pedantic correction about FRV article Posted Sat Dec 16 10:12:03 GMT 2000 by 'meee Being Anal'

Just thought I'd be ultra-anal and point out that video has 25 frames a second and not 24.

Meaning that there are effectively 50 images a second,a field isn't a whle image, just half a one (particually handy as the electricity system works on 50 cycles a second.)

Actually, you're only half right. NTSC may have 25 frames per sec but PAL has 24 (but more lines and so a higher definition).

PAL
-----
--oo-
--|--
-\/--

NTSC
--oo-
--\/-

Oh no that's shit.

NTSC has 30 (most of the time, the number of frame varies depending on what second it is)

PAL has 25, numbered 0-24
