Thanks for the info. It's kinda funny that when I enter to check if there¡'s an answer, a thread talking about the CBB group (how could I miss that reading the official index?) pops up in the front page . Anyway, is this it:

[edit] Sorry, I should know better

? Any idea as to why it's only 3.08GB (maybe it's in RAR format)? Also, any idea why it was converted to PAL and not kept in NTSC?

....converted to PAL , very funny. Although it may be hard to believe, byakko, there is a world outside the US. One minor part is Europe and the TV norm there is PAL. While almost all PAL DVD players can handle NTSC with no problem at all, this is very different with NTSC DVD players. And since the CBB group has realized that, we convert our edition from PAL to NTSC.

Still an NTSC edition of DeZIONized is planned, but the group is still arguing about the changes this edition will contain compared to the PAL edition. Main theme of discussion is, if the fighting and action sequences should be reduced in time for improved pacing and improved likeliness for women to enjoy the edit (sounds strange but is true).

I see some serious bug bit you where the sun don't shine, boon23. I'm from Uruguay, a PAL-N country. My reasoning was to assume that most semi-modern DVD players and TVs can playback PAL and NTSC DVDs without much issue. Your group release is in PAL, so you either used the PAL DVDs (most likely standards converted in a sloppy way by the authoring house) or standards converted the NTSC source yourself. None of these alternatives would yield the same quality as taking the NTSC source, IVTCing it and making an NTSC FILM (23.976fps+pulldown) out of it, which is why I asked my question. There was no need to treat me like an ignorant which on this matter I'm not.

Ell the Ewok: that's a broad generalization. Native PAL does have a bigger framesize and much better colors than Native NTSC, but it also has a lower framerate.
The source for DVDs should be the original FILM (23.976fps) source, but it's not always the case. More often than not, PAL DVDs are made by standards-converting NTSC DVDs. Standards conversion can be done in a multitude of ways, but for speed reasons most of the times frame blending methods are used, so you'll likely see ghosting if you look close enough. Even if you do it the right way (IVTCing the NTSC DVDs and then speeding up), that's no match for just taking the FILM source and speeding that up, which, like I said, is rarely done for speed reasons.

PAL DVDs will be better than NTSC DVDs only if the source is native PAL or if the source is FILM that's later sped up.

Yes, but when they convert to PAL, they're usually not using the actual retail NTSC DVD, they're using some kind of better quality master, which these days might be HD. So PAL again becomes better. Anyway.

As far as I know, that only happens on some animes, where the PAL versions are made from the HD masters.
