Strange how there is no such speed difference as you indicate in that example on the two Suspiria clips I made. As you describe it, it'd clearly be about a full second of time difference in a sentence that'd take about three seconds to say -- four or five times quicker than PAL speedup actually is! Can you imagine? Or perhaps you are being hyperbolic.
The reason I made those clips -- and listened to them very closely -- was exactly because of reading stuff such as you write above. It was making me start to imagine I *could* hear it -- I was thinking, 'Is that guy's voice a bit high and quick-sounding?' And so on. So I made a direct comparison of a short clip with two different voices on it. The clip runs about ten seconds or so. Conclusion? I could not hear the difference I was imagining I heard on other things. I *could* hear one possible clue after listening it over about ten times... one single word I thought might just sound a tiny, tiny, TINY bit more abrupt on one clip than the other.
Before I did this, I assume I was experiencing a psychosomatic response to reading stuff like the above. Very annoying.
Whatever you might think or imagine on this issue, the fact is that the difference IS minuscule on a second-to-second basis (the fact that it is cumulatively around three minutes over the course of 90 minutes might make it seem more significant than it really is in real-time) -- a physical fact that you could calculate to an exact recurring percentage if you wanted to waste some time -- and that how you describe the sentence above, for instance, is just ridiculous and plain wrong. Unless the R2 source of that film is running at a seriously incorrect speed that has nothing to do with video format.
You are in a runaway cycle with letting this bug you, tho, and alas there's no escape from it. I think I'd be saying the same things if I hadn't compared those clips. As is, PAL and NTSC annoy me about equally, which is, generally, not very much at all, though I wish I could afford the format upgrade...
Er, yes, of course, I do indeed have a deeper voice than James Coburn.
