Hmm, well at least I haven't seen 24p DVD playback anywhere else, though that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Was that added to the BD35 later via a firmware update? If not, maybe I just missed it. I didn't spend a lot of time with it (played with a BD30 for a while, though).
Good to know it's available elsewhere, and yes it's off by default on the BDP-83 for the same reason. I've seen issues with it even on newer, well-authored DVDs, but they're only ever quick glitches (on some cuts to different camera angles, the top 3/4 of the first frame will appear before the remaining 1/4) and they happen so fast and so infrequently that I don't care. I'll take that glitch over juddery camera pans anytime.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
