I have a question that frameworkers might be able to help with.
I and a collaborator recently received a grant in Denmark to put a
number of experimental films on DVD and/or BluRay. What we have run
into is this: the films are at 24fps, both made at that speed visually
and for the music that was written for them. In Denmark, the DVD
company only encodes at 25fps in PAL. This is the wrong speed for both
the picture and the music. BluRay works fine. One option that has been
suggested is to just make the BluRay and provide a link to watch the
original file online. I don't especially like this option, but I'm not
sure I see another way.
The problem isn't really that the DVD would be PAL, it's that the speed
is wrong.
What have others of you done in this sort of situation?
Thanks for any stories or recommendations!
