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!

This seems like something a home theater PC should be able to do. I recall getting stuck with some magic utility that could be used to tweak timing after I made the mistake of installing a codec pack.

Try AVSforum... there's bound to have been discussions of PAL versus NTSC playback there.

Yes, the Esoteric Universal players coupled to the Masterclock - John C. - Aussie 19:16:59 09/04/08 (0)
I have such a setup here - purchased both used at 50% new prices but still very expensive.

The player is a UX-1 LE (now superceded)and a G-0s Masterclock (similarly replaced).

Not that I'm aware of. (nt) - Jack G 08:35:39 09/04/08 (0)
