Does anyone know why the Region 1 release is 102 minutes but the Region 2 release is only 98 minutes? I hope nothing has been cut, ah it has at least Region 2 will be getting a Continuum promo to make up for it...

I own all the SG-1 seasons in both R1 & R2 (I bought them twice because thr R2 PAL menus are much better than R1). However, I have never really noticed voice differences between the two.

About the voice, it's easy to hear the pitch difference. On european dvd, daniel sounds more like thor (when he speaks as daniel).
I have doubles of some of my dvd's and I can't tell any difference between the voices of region 1 or 2.sigpic

I guess it depends. I can definitively hear it.
If i do not force my pal dvd at 24 fps, they sound weird. (espacially the star trek voyager opening, it seems to be going so fast on pal dvd).
I found an exemple : http://www.mastersofcinema.org/bress...ALspeedup.html
There are audio sample showing the difference.Last edited by flobo; 03 April 2008, 02:41 AM.

Yeah i'm sure, that's the reason i only play dvd via a hcpc connected to my 26' hdtv.
That way, if it's a pal dvd, i play it at 25 fps. If it does sound good (for most recents movie, it does, i let it be that way. It it sounds strange, i force the dvd at 24 fps with reclock. (for EVERY tv show i own on dvd, the speed up is not corrected including stargate). The problem is also there with tvrip from skyone, it does not sound the same as scifi's/tmn's versions unless forced at 24 fps with reclock.
Pal blu-ray do not have this problem since blu-ray are 1080p at 24 fps everywhere.

Because YOU cannot hear it doesn't mean nobody can...
It's like everything, some people do, some don't.
Moreover, stargate has always been filmed at 24 fps. What you are speaking of with 30fps is the 3:2 pulldown wich has nothing to do with the problem we're talking about.
It's just that, on 60 hz only display with 24 fps source, first image is played twice, second 3 time, third twice, 4th 3 times,...
But in the end, the running time is the same since 12*3 + 12*2 = 60.
