	albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1345 Points	Yeah sorry, I wasn't intending the thread to sway into the techie stuff as much as it is doing. I have used Adobe's Premier Pro from their Master's Collection and that did have many PAL <> NTSC <> DV conversion options which retained timings, audio etc - there was a bewildering amount of variants available - too much to cope with, in fact. No, the reason why I made thread was to try to prevent mis-information about cuts in films that blight DVD reviews on sites such as Amazon, usually by angry people exclaiming "It said it was uncut but Region 2 DVD is cut by 3 minutes!!!!! Region 1 DVD is longer !!!! I want my money back !!!" (or words to that effect). And I know that it will appear in reviews here eventually, also note that it only applies to film transfers onto DVD, Blu-ray timings seem to be OK (check those DVD/Blu-ray dual format editions). Examples (96m on PAL DVD, 100m on NTSC DVD): [image]762904[/image] [image]830345[/image] Regarding whether a film has definitely been cut due to censorship, the Movie Censorship website is a good place to check first.
