Film-based PAL DVDs. Is there a player that can correct the 4% speed-up?

Hi,

Film-based PAL DVDs. Is there a player that can correct the 4% speed-up?

I was using the search function and found that there was no solution, at least until 2005.

As now we have a lot of players that do things like upconversion, I wonder if any model can also correct the PAL speed-up issue.

I use an Oppo 971h with a Panasonic AE700 projector, so I can watch PAL DVDs, but can I watch them at their proper speed? My Oppo 971h has that weird pitch correction function, but I know this only adresses half the problem.

Thanks for any help!
