I really do not understand this "need" for the PAL version when you guys can play the NTSC just fine,maybe someone can explain why you would prefer this version?

but what sux for us is we can't play the PAL version just fine,we have to convert or watch it on a shitty DVD player that does an even shittier conversion.

NTSC DVDs tend to be very gittery when played back on PAL DVD players (at least on mine they are) I assume this is a combination of 3:2 pulldown and format conversion (that would be the same kind of 'shitty conversion' you're talking about, just because they play NTSC doesn't mean they play it well).

Maybe I have only tried DVDs that haven't been properly flagged for progressive playback, or maybe it's because my DVD player / TV don't handle NTSC signals properly. But 3:2 pulldown is as annoying for me as PAL speed up is for you. In the end it just comes down to everyone liking what they're used to.

I intend to download you NTSC DVD of the cannes cut (which, knowing the quality of your work, I'm sure will be properly flagged) and I'll let you know if it plays back properly on my system.
