2:3 pulldown
Last modified: Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Also called inverse telecine, 2:3 pulldown is a
method of converting a 24 frame per second film into 59.94 field per second
NTSC. It does not apply to films encoded for
PAL. It works by showing every second frame for three
fields, resulting in a frame-to-field pattern of 2-3-2-3-2-3.
