PodBoy's right, of course, although in the past (even just a few years ago) it was not possible to achieve 1080p/24 with video.

Video is going to be cheaper and easier to work with as a general rule, but until recent improvements in video technology it came at the expense of resolution and picture quality. That didn't matter in the days of smaller TV screens and analog video delivery (over-the-air or cable), when the delivery method itself leveled the playing field to a great degree, but digital delivery, bigger screens, and especially HD have changed all that.
