VERY few people noticed the issue. It's not as massive as you would expect.

I think this is down to the abomination known as 3:2 pulldown, so many people whose tv system is natively NTSC are so used to 3:2 pulldown on films and tv shows that they probably wouldn't notice the repeated frames of your first release. Whereas PAL land people watching it on a PC screen (so the playback is progressive) may spot the repeated frames fairly quickly. (death to NTSC!)

- Just the rear speakers, why not all of them?


Basically I've watched the OV so many times that it's become the 'definitive' version of BR to me so with the HDTV DC broadcast's quality I just had to do something with it except I'd miss Deckard's voiceover, I could've applied it to the center speaker only which would have been easier (I don't have multi-channel editing software so had to place the voiceover manually on two different wave files) but had the idea of placing the voiceover on the back speakers because it would more accurately represent Deckard's thoughts in the back of his mind.
It works well I think, especially when the audio from the front speakers aren't drowining out the voiceover on rear speakers. I'm going to boost the voiceover on the loud sections anyway and do another test.
