I've only just got my BD player and noticed something today.

I've just got Bram Stoker's Dracula on BD and the runtime seems to be 5 minutes longer than my DVD copy.

The dvd is R2 and the BD states All Region.

Is this an issue similar to the difference in runtimes between NTSC and PAL discs?

Just curious!

There is no PAL speedup on blu-ray. R2 dvd's run 4% faster. A 100 minute R1 DVD runs 96 minutes on R2. Since there is no PAL or NTSC on Blu-Ray we get the exact runtime.

To be more precise, there is no speedup on properly mastered blu-rays with 24 frames per second (1080p/24). There are however some 25 fps blu-rays that suffer from the same speedup as PAL DVDs. (Usually PAL HD broadcast copies in 1080i/50.)
