My Farscape set is PAL

and the SMOKE the NTSC versions! - EVEN thought my TV is NTSC the PAL set is just better

- AND here is some PAL Laserdisc INFO!

BUT I understand the PAL transfers actually BITE - real bad

Some early PAL DVD (and why not LD too) mastering was done by simply stretching NTSC DVD material to PAL resolution. So if those LD PAL releases are done like that, they are worth nothing unfortunately...

The only advantage they would have would be that the NTSC->PAL stretching could possibly be much better than modern PCs can do nowadays. And I doubt that seriously.

Now if there is somewhere a LD PAL release made directly from original film material, that would BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF NTSC
