The Thai DVD looks interlaced too. I used to own it but am glad I sold it on now (unwatched) so I can re-buy it properly.
The Thai DVD looks a mess. I can appreciate Mangpong are a small Thai label by International standards but this film won a far few awards. You'd think they'd make more effect. Converting it from NTSC to PAL is odd when many Thai DVDs are NTSC anyway.
Of course it's interlaced Brad, it's NTSC>PAL.....
I thought I had the R1 somewhere around (acquired it for the Doyle commentary) but I can't seem to find it. As I recall it's interlaced and not up to much, usual Palm Pictures release.
You're right, it is possible that antamiincon and floafeAnnerie didn't know that. But everybody else does.
Why else did you think NTSC>PAL conversions are hated and only not so bad on interlaced displays?
