Shemaroo DVD is NTSC and is Pseudo-Progressive. DVD cover states, "For distribution in India Nepal and Bhutan only"
(But, usual chroma lagging behind luminance problem; hence, pixel comparing routines may or may not detect the 2-3 pull down)
Bit rate is 3.5-5 mbps. Audio is DD 5.1 @ 384 kbps
Shemaroo MEA color DVD has cool packaging and my disc is Super Cool.

Sure, cover says, for sale only in India Bhutan and Nepal. I picked it up in Toronto, paid big bucks, it's supposed to be original and looks original. Disc media is SILVER (may be 5% goldish).
From what I have heard there is nothing like original dvds in Toronto.
From where I bought it, is my trusted store (I am sure to get a replacement or credit) and he does tell me if it's a pirate. The price I paid for it, it must be 100% genuine direct import from India. If go by the looks of the packaging, it still should be 99.9% genuine original from Shemaroo India.
BTW, as much it did play, PQ is better than EROS. Shemaroo is Pseudo-Progressive and EROS is Field Averaged.

Got it replaced from a brand new immaculate, sealed box.
I have problems with this one too, but I did succeed playing it thru once, sufficient to make an exact code back up. (No problems playing my back-up copy).
This brand new disc has loading problems in my 2 of 4 DVD/ PC-DVD players. Once loaded, it plays OK till last 10 min of the movie. At least it plays OK for 174 of the 184 min.
