[dba-Tech] A few questions about media files

Hi Bryan

PAL is always 25 fps. 
For NTSC a lengthy discussion can be found here:

You may need something strengthier than a Miller Light after perusing this in detail.

Not that it matters that much, but PAL is around 25 (don't know the
actual number) and NTSC is 29.97. NTSC used to be 30 in the days of
Black & White, but when they had to add the colour information to the
signal then did some fancy math and came up with 29.97 as the frame
rate for NTSC. Let's not even talk about ATSC (North American Digital
Over The Air Broadcasting standards).

Like I said, it doesn't much matter, but it's one of the few things I
can remember these days,
