Toshiba has announced they will be bringing true 24p output to their popular HD-XA2 and HD-A20 HD DVD players.
The new capability will be added through a firmware upgrade due in September. The firmware upgrade will introduce "playback of film-based content" at 1080p/24fps, otherwise known as 24p.
Although movies are captured at 24p for theatrical exhibition, they are usually transferred at 30fps for home video formats. Both HD DVD and Blu ray are capable of encoding at 24p but so far no HD DVD players have facilitated playback at anything but 30p.
