Apparently PAL DVD's run 4% faster than NTSC DVD's ...?

100hz telly? Wow, are Gilette shares really that high? (I just can't leave it alone, can I?)

You still get the same fps though, so neeeeeer.

4% really really isn't very much at all.... get your favourite song in Sound Forge, speed it up by 4% and you'll see what I mean... it doesn't make any difference. However start messing around with every few notes, making them increase in length, then you'll be tearing your ears out.

Interesting point. I have noticed slight difference in audio on movies.
For example I have Fight Club on R1 and I watched some of it on sky movies
a while back  The opening music sounded like it was at slightly higher speed.
I have heard  voices in films like this too.  I just figured it was the audio mix.
Even though I knew about the runtime thing between PAL/NTSC.

Now it makes sense.

Hmm sounds like a lot of trouble over nothing. I only have minor stuttering on multi region DVD players, and had my ps2 smegged so that it would play everything under the sun. HA I mock you lowly mortals restricted to regions. It's like in Fortress with the intestinators, and I can cross the red line.
