DVD Player Display Frame Rate

[Dark Lain]

Is there any way to get Apples standard DVD player software to disply the frame rate of the movie being played? I can't use Mplayer to do this as it does not work.

I'd like this to make sure I'm using the proper setings when ripping using Handbreak but it seams that it always seems to think the framerate of any dvd is 24 fps even if the content is a tv program or a movie so I have doutes abouts its accuracy.

Thanks in advance.

NTSC is 29.97fps, so encoding at 29 is just fine. Not sure where the 24 came from... but perhaps that is PAL?

Isn't 24fps what movies are shot at?

24fps is the frame rate for film, as shot for movies.

29.97 fps is for NTSC video

25 fps is for PAL video

Handbrake has never gotten a frame rate wrong on a DVD I've ripped when set to "detect" the DVD's frame rate.

Careful when ripping NTSC video, people sometimes will do it at 29fps or 30fps, which will, eventually cause the audio to lose synch.

Thanks for all the responses. It would still be nice to know how to tell the framerate of the dvd playback.
