Ripper's Notes:

This version of The Far Pavilions is less than 2 hours long while the
original mini-series is over 5 hours. This is not just one episode
because it covers the entire story. It was ripped from a dutch DVD
produced by Indies Entertainment. I assume it's some sort of movie
version. I could not find any further info about this except the fact
that the runtime listed on IMDb and several other movie sites is also
around 2 hours. The complete 5 hour version of this mini-series is also
available on DVD which of course is still open for release considering
the large time difference. People with not so much time or bandwidth
to spend will be happy with this shorter 1CD version.

Some end credits where cut, the complete length was 1:48:36
