NOTE :
Telecine transfer is the process of changing images
from film mode to video mode.
While film runs at 24 frames per second (fps), NTSC
television signals (or video) have a run rate of 30fps so
the 24 fps film needs to be speeded up to 30fps and
transferred using a proper field pattern to get them
play smoothly on TV.
