You open the door to something interesting: variable frame rate films.. Personally I would love to see certain action scenes in 120+, and think there could be i

  I think you'd have a nightmare of a time getting this adopted into any standards body. Constant frame rate is so fundamental to a lot of pieces throughout.

    Definitely. Plus I suspect there are almost zero theatre projectors that could handle VFR

    24 is a multiple of 120, so you can repeat frames 5x on the 24fps parts, and play the whole video at 120fps. The question is what the on/off time is of a 24fps film. My TV has black frame insertion to make 24fps content look better; I am personally a huge fan of black frame insertion so I would imagine that theater projectors do it or something equivalent. If so, that will go away with your "play the same frame 5 times" algorithm. (Old style film projectors did it as an implementation detail; the sample and hold nature of LCD screens is a new "problem" for 24fps content.)

      That might work. Directors would easily have access to 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120fps
