Glad for a retail too ... Only thing that concerns me is 2cds for a 117 minute film Hoping they didn't strech it too much by craming onto 2cds ..

The limit for a 3cd movie is approx 116mins, this can often be streched a few mins further (i have seen to 125mins with no loss of quality). As this is not a fast paced action movie (well, not all the time anyways) this movie should be fine for only 2 cd's.

:: actually, it wouldn't be fine

75:42 CD1

Wish they would have used the whole 80 min.

Please, PAL is a far superior format technically then NTSC, not to mention the fact that the majority of the world use it compared to only Japan and America for NTSC.

As for movie: 8 / 8 / 9 (from sample)

Just watched this release, I don't know what you guys are always bitching about. Video and Audio quality are great. Good movie as well. And what's wrong with PAL, if you knew anything about PAL vs. NTSC or a little about svcd ripping you would realize what you say has no basis and shows just how much you really understand. (9/9/9 is my vote)

Wasn't bitching about anything here.. just concerned how the video looked considering 117min on 2cds is pushing it... sometimes it looks good... sometimes it doesn't... was just asking

Just got this. Looks great. No reason for 3 CDs. 2 is fine.

The kid who played Tom Hanks son sucked. I thought Jake Lloyd was bad in The Phantom Menace... but this kid is worse. A completely emotionless performance. Where's Haley Joel Osment when you need him?

NTSC is superior in VCD but Pal looks better on SVCD and definetly DVD, but this is only my opinion.

The less frames has nothing to do with it, the less frames per second you use the longer the film will be, so it equals out anyway.

The lower resolution means NTSC isn't as sharp as Pal, but Pal need a slightly higher bitrate to maintain that resolution.

I personally prefer the colors on Pal, but its not much difference unless your using a DVD player that favours one format more.

Just my two cents

By the way, good release of a good film.
