Immagine in Cornice - wrong format for Europe?

edited November 2007 in Given To Fly (live)
Hi,
just received the DVD and all I get on my screen is that this format isnt supported in my country. Looks like the NTSC system isnt supported on European DVD players?
Anyone with same experience?

What can I do?

Thought I would enjoy some PJ this weekend but ....

    US dvds are NTSC and European ones are PAL. Most players in europe don't support NTSC but you might be able to watch it on your computer.

    It's that Region 1 isn't supported by your DVD player. If you search the net for your dvd player there should be a code you can enter so it will play the dvd.

    Hopefully if your TV isn't too old it should be able to show NTSC.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    NTSC doesn't really matter - almost all TVs can play NTSC. What is important is the Region Code on the DVD, which is Region 1 in this case (US + other countries but not europe!). I'm surprised because most DVD players are now multi-region or no-region . Google your player and find a region hack for it. (example of site I am talking about http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/info/multiregion/) Not a real hack, just a few numbers to enter via remote et voila! Your player becomes no region/multi-region! Easy peasy. Or buy yourself a very cheap and cheerful player - you can get some for as little as £20.

    I got the 10Club edition too.
    Weird: on one player, it works fine.
    But!
    On the player that's connected to the big screen TV, the DVD freezes right after Alive, and won't work, and I can't even access the bonus stuff. Really, really annoys me.

    Some things abouts Region 1 DVDs:

    Some European DVD Players don't them at all - they won't even recognize the disc. Some others begin playing them, but at some point they freeze. Some others play them normally, but the picture is black & white. Finally, some others play them fine. Computers rarely face any problem with Region encoded DVDs.


    NTSC isn't really a problem for us here - almost every DVD Player and TV is compatible with NTSC. The problem is in the US with PAL discs I believe.


    I have also ordered the 10C version (which by the way I haven't received yet), but I did it knowing that my DVD Player doesn't support Region 1 discs. I will copy Immagine In Cornice in a DVD-R and enjoy watching it on my TV, or else I'm just gonna watch it on my PC screen. That's what I did with a Black Crowes DVD that I purchased from a US seller.

    Beware.. your PC DVD player will most probably be region coded. Most of the times, you will be able to change regions but only for a limited number of times.
    A bit of info here http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/dvd/regions/regions.php but google for more.

    Where did you get yours from?

    When I got my copy from Play.com I noticed the NTSC sign on the back and phoned them up. They said it should work in a UK player. Then I noticed that next to the NTSC text it does say "Regions 2/3/4/5" which means it's ok for Europe. It did work as well.

    Does your copy have this? If it says "Regions 2/3/4/5" then it should be ok. If it says Region 1 then its a US version unfortunately but you might be able to play it on a multi-region player or something.
