This is a bit off topic, but for some reason I can't post in the Off Topic forum.
With all the controversy about The Hobbit's 48 FPS I'm a bit curios about a few things:
1) Does the current Blu-ray profile even support 48 FPS? From what I can tell it only supports up to 24p or 29.97i at 1080p. So will we need a new profile to be able to support 48 FPS movies?
2) Does anyone know if there is any high quality 48 FPS footage available for download anywhere? There are HD camcorders available that shoots at this framerate. I want to make sure both my hardware and software is capable of handling movies.
Note: Please, no "48 FPS sucks!" rants in this thread. I'm not interested.
