[Bf-funboard] Render Buttons proposal

[William Reynish]

Oh yeah, you seem to know a bit more about video/TV
formats, ofcourse they will have to be exactly
correct. I was just taling about the idea of those
formats. There must be somewhere on the web or
something where you can get it exactly right. But why
not include the NTSC DVD format? I know its very close
no regular NTSC, but even six pixels make a difference
in the end. You would want to get it exactly right.
