I download both but notice no descernable difference between the two.

They are both slightly different frame rates. If you watched an NTSC copy of the film with a PAL Rifftrax it would probably drift more often. The way I noticed it was with my Simpsons DVDs. I have a couple of seasons imported from the States and the sound plays slightly slower than the British ones I have. Because of Perfect Sync Technology it probably isn't much of a problem though, just pause one every time it goes slightly off.

A PAL video has more frames per second than an NTSC video. So yeah that makes the sync a little bit off between the two. Therefore (I just realized you don't get to use the word 'therefore' that much in daily conversation so I just wanted to say it), RiffTrax makes two of them.

yeah pretty much all covered there. If you are watching PAL and listening to NTSC the rifftrax will fall behind, if watching NTSC and listening to PAL the rifftrax will be fast. The % I use is around 4.178% or something, it's written down at home.

FYI, NTSC is also used in Canada and Japan. |
