Huh?? I thought MPEG was TV-system independent? On my copy
of The Whole Story '94 there's a note saying "PAL/NTSC/SECAM compatible'.

Ummm... not quite right. There's the original The Whole Story video,
plus the tracks that got added to the 'Updated version' of 1993 (LaserDisk
only) (the three The Sensual World videos), and then just two of the
The Red Shoes videos: Rubberband Girl and Moments Of Pleasure. Anyone
able to tell whether it's the original (UK) video or the US video of
Rubberband Girl?

Bye,
