No, I meant DVDs - the PAL LD's are most likly a cheap NTSC-2-PAL job. and 100 lines more resolution (16% more resolution) does make a significant difference - it's a similar difference anamorphic Vs non-anamorphic (the difference is 20% - meaning anamorphic NTSC has jut 4% more picture information than non-anamorphic PAL).
