	Teague posted: I'm still trying to wrap my head around why they'd release movies with the exact same editing that are somehow completely different lengths. They literally squeeze the movie into a shorter duration? And presumably pitch correct and everything? It's the difference in framerates between PAL and NTSC that causes the problems, of course. But yes - using a pulldown method with NTSC you can get very nearly 24FPS (23.976). For PAL, someone at some point just thought - speed it up, pitch shift it and be damned with the difference. It's a good solution. 24 to 25 is unnoticable, as long as the audio is properly sorted. Interestingly, when we get movie spots and commercials here in the UK, they're effectively 24 frame-blended to fit into 25, which causes ghosting and smearing, as you'd expect. I was wondering the other day why they'd do this for commercials but not for DVDs and full films played on TV, and then I thought, of course, for commercials the distributors expect to have their full time quota filmed, even if it is only different by a few frames in length. But it does severely affect the quality because of the blending. -----signature----- Master Mike of the Secret 7000 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvqajaBoV-I - 2009 Reel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSCMwmB0mgY - Boobyhatch: Matrix Energy

	Awesome. I may just have to watch the movie with it this time. Teague posted: I'm still trying to wrap my head around why they'd release movies with the exact same editing that are somehow completely different lengths. They literally squeeze the movie into a shorter duration? And presumably pitch correct and everything? TV does this too. I know for sure "Friends" is guilty of this. It may just be TBS that does it, pretty sure that's where I've seen it (they practically invented 'start the next show during the credits', but during certain actions you can tell they've been sped up. I'm pretty sure it's just TV and not on the DVDs, but I haven't done comparisons or anything. Commercial time, I get that. Still seems a little ridiculous. -----signature----- Fanfilmers shoot first and talk copyright later. http://www.vimeo.com/vaportrail/videos http://thespenceleyspoileriffic.blogspot.com/

	Oh god, I suck at life. Sorry everybody! EDIT: Both issues are resolved. Vapes, the link was there, it just doesn't underline and blueify itself: bam. iTunes should update you soon, iTunesers. -----signature----- Teague "Fig" Chrystie Hollywood, CA http://www.downinfront.net http://twitter.com/TeagueChrystie

	Do you all have a list of films you're planning to commentate, or is it just whatever's on the shelf when you get together? Can we make requests? -----signature----- I am a bitter clinger.

	They ran out and rented The Abyss 5 minutes beforehand. So, yes, there's some flexibility there. Don't wanna speak for Teague, but I'd say request away. They can ignore it if they want, anyway. -----signature----- http://www.RyanVsDorkman.com http://www.twitter.com/RyanWieber
