My understanding is that when converting films to video in PAL/SECAM 50hz regions (ie not Brazil which was 60hz PAL-M), the film was routinely sped up from 24fps to 25fps, presumably to reduce flicker and other artifacts. Its one of the foibles that exists.
Obviously when converted from PAL to NTSC this speeding up would still be there.
Can’t say I ever noticed, but usually conversion creates other artifacts like jerky motion… but that would depend how the conversion was done.
Most modern TVs and VCRs in Europe and Australia/NZ from the early nineties onwards, could cope with NTSC anyway, so conversion became irrelevant.
