The Little Mermaid - help needed with LD PCM...

[Turisu]

All 35mm film is 24fps (you can't have .976 of a frame on film). The difference in playback framerate is only found on home video due to differing TV standards.

Oh thanks for clearing that up. I got confused when all the 35mm film scans I found online were 23.976fps except the two that came from Germany. Must've just been a coincidence (maybe those two kept the 24fps speed in order to keep sync with an audio track such as DTS.)

It's usually the other way round. Some scans are muxed at 23.976fps in order to sync with BD/LD audio tracks.

When I synced both the 1998 LaserDisc’s Dolby Surround PCM track and the 1997 theatrical re-release’s Cinema DTS 5.1 track to the current Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD releases, I replaced the 1997 End Credits Suite with the original 1989 End Credits Suite on both tracks. I sourced the 1989 End Credits Suite from the aforementioned current Blu-ray releases.
