Uncle. I don't care that much.
We were right about Vietnam. We were right about Nixon. We were right about Reaganomics. Trust us -- we're right about Bush, too.

Long story short:

All versions on disc: seemingly at correct speed/pitch
TKAA as shown in theatres: too slow, which means a lower pitch
TKAA DVD: still too slow, but now pitch corrected

Don't know about the R&R Circus video/DVD.

It sounds to me like many of these issues you're referring to are nothing more than PAL artifacts. A 24fps film transferred to PAL at 25fps runs 4% faster.

Right, but the issue here is the film running *slower*, not faster.

I'm liking the "film shot at 25 fps" idea now, until somebody comes up with something better.

Yeah, I just checked...the difference is almost exactly 4%.

One more thing. I just remembered McGoodwin once sent me the audio from the ABKCO DVD. The speed and pitch match the disc versions.
