OK cool, thanks for the links. So does anyone here OWN this? How did they handle the different cuts seemlessly with the shorter original English dub? Was there a different Australian dub originally? Enquiring minds want to know!

<-- and we weren't starting a debate. I think it was assumed what I was attempting would be PAL because my source was, but as I'm in the states and am doing it essentially for myself and my mostly NTSC-only friends (why oh why can't I get more people to buy players that convert?!?!) I was only planning on doing a NTSC release.
