It's not a PAL vs NTSC problem, it's an "Anamorphic Footage" problem.
For my video (Do You Realise) is added in letterboxing to make the footage appropriate for a 4:3 display (as I'd figure that's what the convention would have). I don't have the escapade dvd yet but I'm guessing many of the other videos use the anamorphic footage without correcting the aspect ratio.
DVDs that are anamorphic generally have a flag on the content that tells the TV (if the tv is listening) that it's stretchyvision. However, if all the videos were encoded with the regular 4:3 flag, this wouldn't happen.
This is one of the reasons why I recommend people correct the aspect ratio (if they can) when sending in to cons because the default is 4:3 and you can't really go wrong with that.

BTW thanks for the feedback on the vid :)
