If I remember correctly my "Alizee En Concert" DVD ordered from Amazon.fr was about $36 US with S&H. After buying 2 Alizee concert DVDs from eBay (which I thought were real) they turned out to be blurry 4.7Gb counterfits. The real concert is about 8.5Gb in file size on a 9.4Gb industry standard movie DVD and is super sharp.
If you play the real DVD on your computer you should install the program "DVD Region + CSS Free" first. The link is here: http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm . This is because the real PAL encoded Alizee DVD is made for Region 2 (Western Europe, Japan, South Africa) and not for Region 1 (US & Canada.) This program will automatically switch the region back and forth as needed (in the software) so the DVD will play without a problem.
Although your computer DVD player should (by itself) automatically switch from one region to another a few times, eventually after switching back and forth between regions (about 5 times) it will be locked down in the firmware and you'll never be able to switch it again, unless you use a program like the one listed above, or so I've read. The above listed program solves that entire problem because it loads in the system tray and runs in the background when you watch any videos on your computer.
