After another quick search, it looks like you are right. This from the
rec.arts.movies.tech faq
7.1.1 European Television Standard
European television conforms to the PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
standard, which runs at 25 frames (50 fields, or half-frames) per
second. This is close enough to the film standard of 24 fps, that 24
fps films are often simply run at 25 fps, with possibly a bit of
pitch-shifting on the soundtrack to make it sound less `screechy.'
Films shot for television broadcast are often shot at 25 fps, and many
cameras have an option of a 25 fps crystal, and tape recorders are
made with 50hz (rather than 60hz) crystals for syncing to 25 fps film.
Both PAL and SECAM (another television standard, used mostly in
Eastern Bloc nations) use 625 scan lines, running at 50 fields per
second. These standards are able to provide higher-quality images than
the U.S. standard described below.
