The Philips DVP5990 is the replacement for the DVP5982. It has a few more features and a better remote, and also costs $60 usd. Those Philips players will automatically convert PAL to NTSC, but only at 480 lines. Of course, it will then upconvert that to 1080i or 1080p. There is a region free hack for those players that you enter using the remote. The Philips players have average upconvert image quality.
If you want better upconvert image quality, check out the OPPO DV-981H that costs $229 usd. This player also automatically converts PAL to NTSC, and has a region free hack. This OPPO is a standard DVD player, so if you want Blu-ray you'll have to look for a Blu-ray player that does PAL to NTSC conversion.
You don't need a region free player to play the Alizee en Concert DVD because it's region 0 (all regions), but you do need the PAL to NTSC conversion.
