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.
This 1957 "classic" comes from Jerry Warren, the director of "Teenage Zombies" and "The Wild World of Batwoman." And yet I am asking you to watch it. "Petrified World" stars John Carradine and Phyllis Coates (what, that doesn't sweeten the deal?) and tells the story of four unfortunates who sink beneath the ocean in the world's smallest diving bell, get lost in the world's boringest caves, and meet a man with the world's fakiest beard. It's all sweetened by haphazard editing and more stock footage than you can shake a stalactite at.
Josh Way provides commentary on the feature AND a brand new short: "Gossip." It's all yours for one low price. Order Now.
"The Incredible Petrified World" is offered as a VOD download.
re: I can't get the sound to
Sorry for the trouble. I'm not sure what the problem could be, though it probably has to do with audio codecs. Try asking about it in the technical support board on the forum. Lots of helpful and knowledgeable folks over there.
I can't get the sound to
I can't get the sound to play! I'm bummed. I've downloaded it twice and there's just no sound. Am I missing something?

i totally agree with RobertReed. imo, josh way really is on par with the big guys. i never imagined i'd say that about anyone, but here i am a'sayin' it. i also agree that josh is great at the dangerous 'one-man riff'. it never sounds forced or hurried or like he's trying to fill in gaps. i was watching this on my laptop while the hubs was watching Nascar - i was laughing out loud so much i moved to another room. what more could you want from a movie/riff than that? oh, and there are some really well done running-jokes in there too.

i'm still laughing at some of the riffs. favorite line = "or less, if it's an exterior shot"
A short and a feature!
Absolutely hilarious.....
Josh's shorts (wow, does that sound awkward!) are on par with the best of MST3K and Rifftrax and the short here does not disappoint.
Normally I am not a fan of the one man riffs as the riffer either seems to try and cram as much in as possible or is too spartan in their riffs. Josh's riffs are very well paced and sounds naturally for one guy to be saying out loud. And the movie itself (who was the target audience for this anyway?) is perfect fodder.
Very much recommended.
