I'm seriously considering building myself a really, really good HTPC and getting a Blu-Ray burner for it to play Blu-Ray movies from to my projector instead of buying a stand-alone blu-ray player which I am not really interested in because you don't have the kind of control over it that you have with a HTPC.

Anyway, I've been reading a lot lately that the newer standalone players output blu-ray movies in 1080p at 24fps instead of 60 fields per second like the first stand-alone players did and now I'm wondering what would happen if I used a burner to play back my blu-ray movies through my HTPC. Would they output at 24fps? Would I not have any control over that? Is the video card responsible for the output? I'm just not sure how this would all work on a computer.

I mean, with a stand-alone, you just plug it in to a projector that accepts it and that's it, but with a computer... what is controlling the output? Is it possible to have 24fps out of a computer?
