It's PAL, and audio is ac3 2 channels.
I really suspect this is another mislabelled telecine copy, just like FCR's "dvdscr" release of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which was beyond any doubt a telecine.
EDIT: I've done some testing on FCR's DVDR release of Robots, which has the same source as HafVCD's release. And it really is a correctly labeled dvdscreener this time, so props to FCR, HafVCD and LRC (XviD release from the same source).
It turns out that FCR's DVDR release has a small, barely noticable "20th Century Fox Home Entertainment" logo in the lower right corner during 5-6 minutes of the movie near the end, starting somewhere around 01:13:05. See screenshot here.
However, the watermark is not hardcoded into the video, it's located in a forced subtitle stream. Easy to remove from FCR's DVDR release. For example, run it through DVDShrink (no compression) and uncheck the subtitle stream! As the watermark is located in a subpicture stream on the source DVD, the SVCD and XviD releases by HafVCD and LRC ofcourse don't have any visible watermark. Only FCR's DVDR release does...
So, in this respect FCR's release is very much similar to I.Robot.DVDSCR.2004.PAL.DVDR-CLASSiC, where the 20th Century Fox watermark could also be removed this way. That release was even re-released later by the same release group when they found out that the watermark could be removed!! (I.Robot.2004.PAL.DVDSCR.CLEAN.INTERNAL.DVDR-CLASSiC)
