If the source is filtered, 1080p24 is better (where no filtering is done). However, even with no filtering 1080i60 takes up more space than 1080p24.Most people get the 1080p60 confused with what's actually on-disc. BluRay will encode 1080p24 on-disc for film (video should be 1080i60), but the output can be 1080p60 since most displays refresh at 60fps. HD-DVD doesn't encode 1080p24 on-disc, so 1080i60 is the max regardless of film or video content. For displays that can refresh at a faster rate, BluRay players offer 1080p24 output which can be displayed at 72fps. You'd think that the player could output at 72fps, but supposedly HDMI can't handle a 72fps rate.
