Rolodex of Hate 1,761 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I've just bought the A Star Is Born DVD today from Sainsbury's (UK) and I'm not sure if this a national thing, but all the songs are definitely sped up or at a higher pitch than they really are. Has anyone else noticed this? Don't think it's my DVD player as this seems to only affect the songs and not the spoken scenes We have no legal choice but to stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 77,445 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I downloaded it (don't come at me I'll buy it when it'll be out) and I had the same impression. The singing parts seem more 'polished' in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaye Monster 8,714 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I definitely noticed this too. It was really obvious in Heal Me I don’t know if it’s a British thing or not but I like an American show and when they brought it over to the UK all the voices were higher pitched and sounded kind of weird, either that or they just edited the songs slightly to make them faster or something? I'm an ARTPOP bitch, baby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

numb the flame 7,321 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Omg thank you it’s not just me and my boyfriend who have heard the voices being higher than it was in the cinema and the soundtrack! I thought we both just got dodgy copies but it seems to be an all round UK problem? Maybe we should tweet Warner and ask them why... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke78619 23,257 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yeah I bought it yesterday (in a Sainsbury’s too lol) and imediately noticed this on ALL of the songs idk why they’d do it insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear 241 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think it has something to do with the framerate. European DVD's are at 25 frames/sec, when the original movie is at 23,796 frames/sec (or something like that)..It's literally sped up a bit... I often noticed that on tv shows too.. You'll notice it too, when you look at the runtimes of US DVDs and European DVDs. They tend to be different even though it's the same movie..... That's where the different standards come in - US -NTSC / Europe and UK - PAL sadly the labels don't apply any pitch correction in most cases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say ruin the experience because I really enjoy the film, but it really annoyed me like I couldn't not focus on the higher pitch ahah We have no legal choice but to stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
