King Kong: Peter Jackson's Production Diaries (2005)

I've noticed that, assuming the listings are accurate, all PAL and NTSC DVDs have the same runtimes. The same applies to the extras on the Kong feature DVDs and the extras on the Lord of the Rings trilogy too, as well as other Peter Jackson films. Clearly there are some PAL-NTSC or NTSC-PAL transfers going on, but which is it? As these were international co-productions, the SD material could have been natively shot in either format. Does anyone have any further info?

This is pretty normal practice when it comes to extra features unfortunately. They'll more than likely be NTSC->PAL.

Yeah Sam, I know it's frequently done; I just wondered if anyone had any particular insight into how PJ's extras were shot and edited. Most of his 'big' films and their extras are billed as US/NZ or NZ/US co-productions, obviously with most of their footage shot in NZ, a PAL country. Have you any particular reason for thinking the extras would be natively NTSC, as opposed to PAL?
