> You know, if we in the US hadn't switched to color TV, we wouldn't
have all this confusion.
I say:
Color was the excuse. The FCC was the cause. They insisted that the
color subcarrier not affect the intercarrier offset (video-to-audio
carrier frequency separation). There WERE other options on how to
handle the color subcarrier. One of those was to change the
intercarrier offset. The FCC would not allow that so this is what we
have now. Even in this the 21st Century and beyond, it seems we will
be living with non-integer frame rates forever. One little seemingly
inconspicuous choice in 1953 that will haunt us to the end of
television.
