No, that's just one of those things that gets passed around in emails. The

story feeds on itself. Both our posts have probably infected someone else

by now.


Key concepts:

--  Test your content on the minimum target delivery machines during

development. This will let you accurately measure the slowest framerate for

that content.

--  The framerate in event-based formats is the top limit; you're

guaranteed it won't play faster and it won't drop frames. A given machine

may or may not react that limit for given content, while a faster machine

may.

--  (Streaming is the exception that proves the "won't drop frames" rule.)
