In Doctor Who-related news, the DVD release of The Moonbase apparently has been slowed down to 24p, according to a number of Amazon reviews. The master created from the 25fps film recordings restored using VIDFIRE to restore the 50i video look should simply be encoded in 60i for NTSC release without screwing with the framerate or the speed. So not only is it slowed down, the video look is gone. I hope this is a one-off authoring error by Warner Home Video/BBC Worldwide. In the meantime, I'll be canceling my pre-order for The Web of Fear and holding off on pre-ordering NTSC releases of Enemy of the World and The Underwater Menace (whenever the hell WHV & BBC decide to release those over here in the states) until it is confirmed they are at the proper 60i NTSC standard. Absolutely unacceptable!
Edit: I don't see any similar complaints for the UK edition of The Moonbase, so I'm going to assume that it's safe.
