Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.

Wait, this sounds awfully familiar. Didn't J.J. Abrams do this before? Or again?
The Star Trek episode that gives you two universes for the price of one now has two ways to entertain you for the price of … well, what it says up there. Pretty cheap, really.
The Contrived Space Storm of the Week hurls Kirk and company into a nightmare parallel dimension. Yeah, the savagery and oppression are pretty rough, but get an eyeful of those evil uniforms! It's as though millions of fashion designers cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. Though Shatner doesn't seem to mind the scanty outfits on the women. God love him.
Everyone wants to know whether Kirk or Picard would win in a fight, even though Generations bungled our chance to find out. But if you ever wondered whether Kirk or Spock would win in a fight, here's your chance, with the Classic episode "Amok Time."
And now, it's funny too!
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan has it all: slam-bang space battle action; a clash of hero and villain both larger than life; resonant themes of revenge, age and renewal, friendship, and sacrifice. Lots of people say it's the best Trek movie ever made.
Think it's too good to make fun of? Think again!
C'mon, mind-control earslugs? The Duel of the Hams? The Shat That Roared? Oh, we're gonna have fun with this, boys and girls.
