Alizée EN CONCERT

[Toc De Mac]

I have had the European version of En Concert for a while now, and have contented myself with watching it on my computer screen, but now wish to move on to grander things.

The problem is, my DVD player is unable to play the disc. The "Code Région" marked on the back of the case states "Pal Toutes zones," which, I presume, mustn't be able to be played on my DVD player.

Have you ever encountered this problem, and, if so, how did you fix it?

Merci bien de vos réponses!

I have the exact same problem. When my copy of Psychedelices arrived it came with a five minute DVD of Alizee driving a red Mustang. It wouldn't play on our DVD player or my laptop. Finally, when I bought my new laptom I was able to play it. The only thing I can think of would be a cable link between your computer and the TV. I've done that a few times. Sometimes I'll hook it up and watch some othe music vids on youtube. Imagine watching Alizee performing under the Eiffel Tower on a 52 inch screen.

Either that, or if you're really serious buying a DVD player that can do the conversion. They're usually around $50. For example: http://www.amazon.com/PHILIPS-DVP314...dp/B000Q0NDSA/

I buy a lot of discs from the UK and other countries, so for me having such a player is a must.

That is odd because it's a all region DVD (no region flag set)
So it should play on all DVD players, even if they are region 1 (USA/Canada) restricted.
You still have the problem of PAL off course if your TV set can't handle PAL...
Did you try to play the DVD on another region 1 restricted player?

I'm sure either his DVD player, TV, or both are NTSC only. It's very rare to find ones that can play PAL here.

Yes, i realized that later. I was thinking of my own situation here.
It works about 99% over here but only 1% there.
Is it so that players in the USA/Canada just WON'T output PAL? (regardless of TV capability)

Yep, I just tried playing it on my downstairs DVD player, but to no avail.

Thanks Snatcher, I'll have to keep that solution in mind (who knows, if Alizée releases another en concert film, I might just have to splurge on a new DVD player).

Keep in mind that standards conversion (especially these "Toys R Us" types in those DVD players)
will degrade the quality enormous, because of time stretching and resolution scaling.
The result would be disappointing.

I bought a DVD player that is region free and will play PAL and NTSC DVDs. I have Alizée, Les Enfoirés, and Mylene Farmer DVDs, so I decided it was worth it so I could watch these DVDs on my 46 inch TV.

Wait if I buy Alizee CD's and DVD's from a site like Amazon.fr the may not work in my in my computer?
