If you're talking about the Google video, that file is so bad in comparison to the DVD. It wasn't even the image quality that surprised me as much as the sound quality. I think I've said it here before...I thought Alizée sounded kinda bad in the Google rip. Thankfully that's not how she actually sounds on the real DVD!

I expect the DVD to play fine on the PC, though, especially if it's region 0 (region free), as the package suggests.
Aspect ratio and image size isn't problem.

But problem is that your TV might not understand the DVD at all. If your TV supports PAL then you got no problem. If the TV does not support PAL, then maybe you DVD player can output NTSC signal (by converting from PAL to NTSC). Most recent players can do that, either automaticly or you need to select it yourself from options.

So, if you DVD player can play it, it's quite certain that you will be able to watch it from TV.

And yeah, it's region free DVD.

Their explanation was that the image is an "edited" version of the concert DVD cover, used on the site because they didn't have a copy of the "real" item at hand when this version of the CD became available for sale.

Much to Amazon's credit, they offered my friend a refund and instructions on how to get the authentic DVD from amazon.fr. He kept the CD, since he would have ordered it at some point in the future anyway. He's waiting on my experience with the amazon.fr order for the DVD I placed last night, to see how smoothly the order and shipping progress. We'll see how things turn out in a few weeks !
My first post. Have been visited this site for a while.

YMMV, i just bought the DVD from the same amazon.com link while they still have one left. It is the real DVD concert and not the Audio CD. Here was my order on 08/27/06. The cheapest place to get real Alizee DVD. Only $15.99.
