Running Time differences between iTunes vs. BluRay versions

[dommromm]

Hello,

There have been many times that, depending on the iTunes store, will offer a movie that has a shorter running time the the BluRay version of said movie.

There have been many times that I passed on a special due to the fact of the iTunes version is shorter than.the supposed running time. I thought it might be due to locations (Uk and Australia) but even the US store has the same shorter time than the BluRay version.

For example: as of this date the original Doctor Dolittle (1967) on iTunes has a running time of 2 hours 27 minutes (even the UK and US stores have this same time length) while the blue ray is around 2 hours 31 minutes.

At the moment the iTunes version is on special in the AUS store for $5. I wanted to buy it but the running time is perplexing.

So does anyone know which version is the is the one currently on iTunes??
