I can tell you that both the BCI and Mill Creek Filmmation DVDs suffer from a botched PAL-to-NTSC conversion.

You know, that makes a lot of sense, I never even thought of it. I remember that Dungeons & Dragons was out on DVD in the UK for quite a while before they finally released it in the US, I didn't know other series had the same fate.

However, I am wondering if this is an interlacing issue or even if this is a real issue that can be fixed by our OT enthusiasts.

Shouldn't be too hard to grab the PAL versions and do a -proper- NTSC conversion. I used to have DivX rips of all the PAL D&D episodes, but I'm pretty sure I deleted them after I bought them legit...

Oh well.
