If the source is European it will play at the same rate as on a European television, and I assume that would be the correct speed in which the material was originally shot (let's not even get into pre-sound era material; silent film is a horse of an entirely different color when discussing FPS and PAL/NTSC speed differences).I was under the impression that the 4% timing issue arises when PAL displayed programming has been converted from what was originally an NTSC source, not when PAL programming is upconverted and displayed over an NTSC format monitor or projector; please correct me if I'm in error here. I haven't noticed any "sped-up" PAL material over my system, but then again, maybe it isn't a big enough issue to be noticeble in most cases.
BTW Jack, don't you own an Oppo?
Cheers,
