PAL Speedup is a nasty side effect from the process of making film into home video for European audiences.  It results in distorted video.  It is a widespread problem that is not sufficiently addressed in the Internet video community.  In a nutshell, PAL Speedup is when a movie file plays slightly too fast, so it is shorter than it is supposed to be, and all the actor voices are slightly higher pitch than they should be.  To some, it is not noticeable, while to others it is maddening.  It is such a slight difference that it is right on the edge of human perception.  Yet, if you notice it, then you don't like it.PAL Speedup is a nasty side effect from the process of converting film into home video for European audiences.  It results in distorted video.  It is a widespread problem that is not sufficiently addressed in the Internet video community.  In a nutshell, PAL Speedup is when a movie file plays slightly too fast, so it is shorter than it is supposed to be, and all the actor voices are slightly higher pitch than they should be.  To some, it is not noticeable, while to others it is maddening.  It is such a slight difference that it is right on the edge of human perception.  Yet, if you notice it, then you don't like it.
