Did they change the frame-rate on the weekday Simpson re-runs?

I don't know if anyone else noticed it but a few weeks ago I started seeing "motion ghosties" like they converted from ~30 FPS to 24FPS or something.

At first, I thought maybe something messed up my video-capturing software, but I just looked at a videotape of the same episode made at the same time as my capture and it shows up on my TV too.

It's not even the comb-tooth artifact you get from capturing an interlaced source. The "ghosts" are clear and smooth like they were drawn in like that.

Why would they do something like this to the episodes? Are they stored/broadcasted digitally now and they did this just to save space/bandwidth?

It's really frickin' annoying! :disgust:

Must be something wrong with your feed. Simpsons look great for me.

The thing is, none of the commercials in that capture show the ghosting and neither does the Simpsons episode that I captured Sunday night. Although...weekdays are UPN and Sunday's episodes are on Fox.

Maybe UPN is behind this. Those mofos! 😉
