MTC haven't got a 29.97 nondrop. But it would have if you slowed it

Frame rates are as follows:

                                  30 
                    Sometimes referred to as black &
                     white, used in music or sound
                      applications where no video
                        reference is required. 
                                29.97  
                                nondrop 
                    Sometimes referred to as colour
                      code, used in non-broadcast
                  applications. Standard in countries
                    with 60 Hz alternating current. 
                                29.97  
                              drop frame 
                     Used in broadcast situations.
                    Standard in countries with 60 Hz
                         alternating current. 
                                  25 
                    Standard in countries with 50 Hz
                      alternating current for all
                             applications. 
                                  24 
                   Little used - ostensibly for film
                                 use.
