"By the way is there anybody who can explain to me why PAL movies are always shorter then their NTSC counterparts? The difference is usually 4 mins per 2 hours. Is there a different number of cells per second or what?"

Movies in the US are at 24 frames per second, while it is 25fps in PAL land - 4% faster (this includes the pitch of the voices as well, and has nothing to do with the fact that watching PAL for extended periods can make you a eunuch. )

US NTSC is at 30fps, but frames are added to the film so that it comes out at the same rate.
