Re: [Avid-L2] 29.97 and HD

Well, since I don't use a normal calculator with frame rates, that isn't an issue. My frame rate calculator does a good job of keeping things in order, and using the proper number.

I'm not allowed to shorten 23.976 to 23.98?  What?

Laugh all you want, but people think that number is a 'speed / framerate'. (I did, long time ago, and it drove me crazy.)

Doing math with 23.98 instead of 23.976 gives you an offset of 0.6 seconds after an hour.

That is too much in our world.

And yes, 23.976 is also not the 'exact' number, but good enough for rock 'n roll.

 23.98,

Eeh Shane,

For the records, most of the times I disagree with you, and most of the times I'm right, you're wrong.

Now, are you trying to piss me off here?
