Is the LOST DVDs cut???
Just brought the Region-2 version of the first twelve episodes of LOST and just wondered are they cut?
Only reason I wonder is that each episode lasts for 40 mins and the TV version with breaks lasts for 65 mins, and I dont think there are 25 mins of breaks in between. Anyone help or am I just being paranoid? |

All hour long shows in America (except ones on HBO and others which are ad-free) only last about 42 minutes... on Channel 4 the show starts at 10:06 and finishes at about 10.59, (
) so there's about 11 minutes of ads in total from start to finish. No cuts.

hate to be a pain, but it's BOUGHT not brought. I managed to let it go untill now but it really annoys me. and if you see the chewed up pilots body in the tree after the invisable monster eats him then the DVDs are uncut, unlike on ch 4. |

dont forget pal is 25 frames per second as opposed to ntsc 24 per second meaning all non pal transfers run about 4% quicker on pal systems.

I also spelt Gunpowder wrong on a dvd label this morning, I shouldn't write things straight out of bed. but back to the brought, this is the one thing I always point out as it seems to be spreading, I even saw it in the sun the other week. |

Never mind the spelling mistakes, the thread title should read Are the Lost DVDs cut? or Is the Lost DVD cut?

In fact,the R1(don't know about R2) specs state the pilot is a longer version with never before seen extra footage.
Watched the pilot on C4 so don't know whats extra.Anyone know? |

I picked up R1 complete series off a candian site and just sat down and watched the last couple of episodes... brilliant!!!
my biggest issue is the fact that we've been short changed....... half a series for £25 when the US get the complete series for $30.... wish I had picked it up 2 months ago when I was in virgin in downtown disney...... but I've got it now so cant wait to repeat the process whent he series 2 disk come out in the US. marty |

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:51.


) so there's about 11 minutes of ads in total from start to finish. No cuts.
