Too bad it has PAL speedup which is inherent to all PAL DVDs. Enjoy your flawed movie watching experience.
PAL speed-upMotion pictures are typically shot on film at 24 frames per second. When telecined and played back at PAL's standard of 25 frames per second, films run 4% faster. [1] Unlike NTSC's telecine system, which uses 3:2 pulldown to convert the 24 frames per second to the NTSC frame rate, PAL results in the telecined video running 4% shorter than the original film as well as the equivalent NTSC telecined video. Depending on the sound system in use, it also increases the pitch of the soundtrack by 70.67 cent ⅔ of a semitone, which only the minority of people with absolute pitch will notice.However, some movie enthusiasts prefer PAL speed-up over NTSC's 3:2 pulldown, because the latter results in telecine judder, a visual distortion not present in PAL speed-up video. [3] This is not an issue on modern upconverting DVD players and PCs, as they play back 23.97fps-encoded video at its true frame rate, without 3:2 pulldown.Software which corrects the speed-up is available for those viewing PAL DVD films on their computers, WinDVD's "PAL TruSpeed" being the most ubiquitous. This method results in a slight decrease in audio quality.
Ichirou, I think you are the one who needs to "listen carefully" as you are treading thin ice here. There is nothing wrong with this DVD, or any other PAL DVD I own. I insist you cease your foolishness before things happen.
You would too! He's probably a good looking guy, where do you think my good looks came from!
