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.
Gotta Catch 'Em All? Not anymore! Pokèmon: The 2000th Movie takes on one of the greatest evils that man has unleashed upon the world: collecting! Pokèmon aren't something to be collected like plushies or trading cards! In other news, the Pope has denounced Catholicism and PETA is finally getting behind wild dog fights.
The community of "Weird Al" Yankovic fans at WOWAY (http://www.weirdalforum.com/) put their heads together and have come up with this star quality script! Performing in this riff is iRiff regular Insert Coin(s) to Continue joined by Tennessee area comedy singer Weirdo Jace of Nuclear Bubble Wrap (as heard on the Dr. Demento Show!)
But that's not all. Order now and you'll also get our riff for the annoying and soul-destroyingly stupid Pokémon short before the film! Togepi is lost in the woods. It's up to Pikachu and its friends to save it ... by sitting through contrived dance numbers and the always hilarious* antics of Meowth the talking cat!
That's our final offer: The Pikachu Movie and The Power of One all in one great track. More fun than you could drop a Snorelax on!
*Hilarious, in this context, describes a sharp and sudden pain in the auditory receptors of the brain
*NOTE: In the read-me, we accidentally forgot to thank one of our talented writers, Graeme Newton-Doull. Sorry, Graeme!
Riff Good, this anime bad
I'm not sure if the high quality of the riff is worth sitting through that Pikachu short, but I'm damned glad I was too old for Pokemon when it hit. If someone does Prince Planet episodes, I am so there :)
