Anyone know how to do this? I am totally blanking at the moment. Usually, I know this stuff.

Take a screenshot.
480 lines = NTSC
576 lines = PAL

You should be able to tell from playing the disc.

Duh... thanks, Moth3r. I knew there was an easy solution. *LOL*

I can't just throw it into the player. Both set tops play both formats.

You can still tell though. NTSC has 3:2 pulldown judder.

And PAL shows sound like "Alvin and the Chipmunk" remakes.

MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.

MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.

JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.
