I don't know if Blu-ray supports 48fps - is only 24fps version available?

    I'd say this was a technical question not a recommendation question. Which should be on topic. – matt_black Oct 23 '16 at 10:50
  • Blu ray supports different combinations of resolution and fps, close to 48 fps among them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray#Video I don't know about The Hobbit specifically. – his Oct 23 '16 at 17:11

24 frames.

"High-definition (1080-line) television is also interlaced—hence the 1080i designation. But 1080p high-definition movies are progressively drawn line after line—they're not interlaced. In fact, Blu-ray actually displays at 30 fps regardless of the source material. Using a method called 2:3 pulldown, it distributes the frames to display 24 fps film footage properly at 30 fps." -PC Mag (The Hobbit' at 48fps: Frame Rates Explained)

  • Is Blu-ray capable of displaying more than 30 frames per second? – user598527 Oct 22 '16 at 23:44
  • From what little I've read the simple answer is no. forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=210147 Note: I changed my answer from 30fps to 24fps. I did this because from what I've read 24fps not 30fps is standard. I know the article says it distributes film at 30fps, but the indicated frame rate from a film on Bluray is 24fps so that is what I'm going to go with. – TJF. Oct 23 '16 at 0:13
