I ain't goin' nowheres. You're stuck with me!

How about the foxes that live in my street deciding to disembowel a neighbour's cat at 4am in the morning? And again at 5am, just after I'd managed to get back to sleep...

The real Byron is safely locked up in his kennel, I know that... >:-)

I'll try and remember to post a grab at the weekend :-)

Er...the bad jokes go in the other thread! :-P

No, but you may trash your reputation if you're not careful ;-)

That hadn't occured to me, you could well be right there. The cut's been very neatly done, the only reason I spotted it is because I've seen the original and someone had already reported the problem :-) However, a more common reason for this sort of cut is that when there exists more than one...

As a couple of people have now confirmed, the DVD is cut. The scene where John cures Rowlf's hiccoughs by taking him for an aeroplane ride is missing entirely. The scene is backed by a piece of music, so it's possible that there was a clearance problem; however, this is just speculation on my...

So with any luck it was shot on 625-line equipment :-) The Storyteller I'll buy. The other two will of course be standards-conversions :-(

I'm not aware of any cuts to the US release. The UK release has apparently lost a couple of seconds due to language, though (the cinema print was the same). On the other hand, I don't recall whether I saw the movie at the cinema. Disney are just a collection of bad habits. Witness "Disney...

Sadly, it was a flamethrower...

Actually, the worst problems with NTSC occur when (non-broadcast) videotape is copied. DVDs are neither PAL nor NTSC - they're YCrCb. PAL and NTSC are analogue composite colour formats: nothing more, nothing less. (The two acronyms have nothing to do with the line/field rates of the...

Oh dear... Is this likely to be a music rights issue?

Well, that's very nice of them, but really, there's no need. NTSC already has a bad reputation ;-) PAL is vastly superior - it was designed specifically to overcome NTSC's limitations and faults. It's by no means the best available system - for example, SECAM was designed to sort out a...

You probably don't have the necessary codec(s) installed. Most likely you'll need to install DivX (www.divx.com); you may need Xvid (www.xvid.org).

We have four (I think) Time-Life tapes out over here. Last I looked, all bar one of the episodes was available in the big HMV boxset, so there's not much incentive to buy the expensive Time-Life offerings. There's no DVDs from them as yet. I also have strong suspicions that their tapes may...

Half the time it's because the company concerned doesn't know/doesn't care/doesn't want to spend the extra money. For example, the Indiana Jones trilogy is finally getting its DVD release in the UK this autumn, and I happily pre-ordered my copy. Then something came up on one of the DVD...

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that one :-( I remember thinking it was weird when I watched the DVD - having watched my VHS a few weeks earlier - and going back to check. That tends to suggest that there's at least two different mixes of the sound and that Columbia got the wrong one here. Anyone...

Wrong :-) The French DVD has an English soundtrack on it.

Ok, this is what I've seen to date: Time-Life "Muppet Show" (US, NTSC, Region 1): all shows have had the closing shot of Zoot replaced; all Season 1 shows have the later multiple-archway titles. This isn't something that could be "fixed" - it's the only way the episodes are officially...
