Can pitch-correction be done in such a way that it doesn't cause audio artefacts? I believe they may have tried it with recent UK broadcasts of Stargate SG1, and you can hear the glitches.
I just wanted to add the caveat that, in the case of PAL, 5.1 audio will be downsampled to stereo.
I would have thought that in the second case, PC software would always playback at 23.976fps - no-one's going to notice that 0.1% speed difference, and it would run into audio sync problems unless it resampled as above (only 7s over a two hour movie, but still).
This is true for Star Wars movies, and many other movies, but not all movies.

1) PAL ... PC software ... can play back at 24fps.
2) NTSC ... PC Software can play back at 24fps without the pulldown. Lower resolution.

What movies would it not be the case for?
