Um, no. Motion blur is absolutely essential for smooth movements. Showing 48fps material by displaying every other frame at 24fps will look, much much choppier than 24fps material.

Of course, but that's not what I mean. Shoot at 48fps and blur each frame as appropriate, just like games do. It's not exactly hard.
