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.
After WW2 there was a huge increase in birthrate. (No thanks to horny returning vets) As a result the one room school houses of America couldn't handle the influx. Jam Handy produced this film to guilt the working class into supporting any tax proposal that would increase funding for education. Anything that will keep the Communist bloc from taking over is well worth the time,effort, and especially money. So go back in time and watch this short about the way you parents went to school without internet or gameboys. It will do you some good.
We have Jam Handy to thank for keeping us abreast
Meh. I guess it was okay. I chuckled a few times which is a good sign because that usually means normal people are rolling on the floor with their sides splitting. I guess I'm like the mysterious sixth pair of hands, "Hard to arouse." No doubt this will resonate with others out there as you make lots of jokes and attack the film which seems to be what the people want. Your audio/video quality is well above average. It seems odd saying this, as I am a solo riffer myself, but I feel you would benefit from a group effort. Your performance is very aggressive, type A personality, and high energy. A laid back counter balance would do you a world of good so they could handle the more clever jokes and references while you could take the harsher jokes and observations. And with the jokes shared between you it won't have a kind of rushed feel to them. I've always felt that the easiest mistake for a riffer to make is to have too many jokes and I'd say with a solo effort you might have reached the threshold. Or at least that’s how I feel about it. Not that I'm any kind of authority on the matter.
Keep trying.
