Specifically, when a film is authored to a PAL video transfer, the film is sped up to 25fps, which is the PAL frame rate. There is no speed up when a film is transferred to NTSC, but if a film is transferred to PAL, and that PAL transfer is converted to NTSC, the speed-up still remains. Some PAL DVDs include pitch correction.
The Swades DVD by UTV is a PAL to NTSC transfer, hence the speed-up. > On 10/23/05, Ambrish L.
