Same AR, DTS HD-MA instead of PCM (so I'm sure the sound is quite comparable). The French version has an MPEG-4 encode and the US release has a MPEG-2 encode.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the French version isn't better than the US release. jwbbud has some of the European releases he's been watching on his 'B' player, and told me once that a lot of the releases over there do trump ours. Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't the same here.

For $30, that's a great buy!

Someone who has it came chime in on this, I'm sure.
