By its very nature there shouldn't be any NTSC/PAL issues because we're talking HD, and the source would have to come from an HD master. Neither PAL nor NTSC would ever enter into things. Though sadly this is Kino after all so I wouldn't put it past them to try to release an upconverted PAL souce as HD. Sad that so many good films are in the hands of one of the most incompetent home video companies.

Looking at the stills from the found footage, it needs some serious restoration work. Hopefully Murnau and Koerber will restore it and we won't be stuck with whatever bastardization Kino would do.
