Thanks Nick. And Sean, I thought you'd already said you weren't throwing out your HE BD disc, cause it works fine as a coaster.

If PAL speedup is really that bad, then I'm glad I haven't imported any PAL-formatted DVDs in the past. OR maybe it's some combo of PAL speedup plus whatever conversion Criterion used to include the footages into that documentary? Come to think of it, maybe Criterion just neglected to do a proper 3-2 pulldown processing for those footages and yielded a 24-to-30fps speedup instead...

The blu ray is correctly released from an NTSC master. These things happen in the underpaid world of home video.
