Hello all,
Perhaps this is a little too simple: Did you keep in mind that the NTSC
standard is not 30 frames per second, but only 29.97 frames per second?
This small difference will add up to one frame in about 30 seconds.
Perhaps the video equipment in question is working with multiples of 29.97
and not with exactly 120.0 or 240.0 Hz?
