So...that also means the PAL and NTSC releases have different time durations (in terms of # of second) since the framecounts are the same (I didn't get the NTSC release so can't tell myself...)? I guess I'm not sure what exactly AVISynth does in this case...playing the 23.976fps materal in 25fps (i.e., the PAL release has shorter duration) or actually converting the material from 23.976fps to 25fps (i.e., some frame insertions and blendings involved)?

Hum...you just reminded me that the audio was ripped from the NTSC edition...so the NTSC and PAL releases *must* have the same time duration then?
