Seriously, we don't. The reason we speed up to 25fps is that we then
get one film frame for one video frame and thus very good motion
rendition, unlike the 3:2 pulldown stutter that you have to put up
with in the US. You probably don't even notice it, but it sticks out
like a sore thumb to us! I guess it's what you grow up with...
