In many cases you are right, but in many DVD are better than that.

re 1

Often the DVD is made from the film, avoiding this problem. In case the source is the film, the PAL DVD picture is much better than NTSC.

I agree that if mastering is done from a NTSC tape, you get a very bad PAL DVD.
But that is mainly due to the NTSC basic low quality, which cannot be improved.

re 2

I prefer a normal PAL without any "improvement".

re 3. I am sorry, here you are clearly wrong. Not all PAL DVD are like that.

If the recording was done as PAL Video, there are no problems, and the sound is fine too, as it was not recorded as 24 fps. Please try some European sources, like TV concerts.

Some of the pitch changers are very good, some are bad. I spent some years selling these pitch changers. Some you might have missed hearing, just like me, because they hide the rare glitch in a transient.
