So many videos on that list that I would just love to watch again. And right now, I don't have a DVD player.

As far as the PAL format and things like that go, does that have any compatibility issues with DVD players, as I believe it did with VCRs?

Yeah, unfortunately they do have compatability issues...

by **Alvy** » Fri Apr 25, 2003 3:29 pm

Oh, yes. The TV system is incompatible, and the DVD would not play in an American DVD player. We use NTSC in the US, and without a PAL DVD player (from Germany, each DVD has country codes), and multisystem TV, it won't work. There are multisystem VCRs

Yeah multisystem players do exist. I just heard about these myself, as I have been using a PC DVD-ROM to view these discs up 'til now. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Here are some links for outfits in the US that sell multisystem,

fritzb, what is the quality of the DVD you mentioned?

On the subject of region-free DVD players ... right now the coolest option looks like the carousel players which not only play MP3 discs but have built-in NTSC/PAL converters. Here's a couple that look interesting, but I think I'm going to wait one more g

To answer your question Fab, I don't actually have a copy of this DVD yet... I expect that I'll pick up a copy with my next CD order from Germany.

I do have Vol.1 and it's quality is fine (as 80's music videos go anyway). Sony doesn't really put out

I just recently got myself a multi-zone DVD. I love to see these videos, can I get a copy please?

You can pick up both volumes and many other good titles from http://www.amazon.de (German branch of Amazon.com). If you have trouble with the German, just review the US site. The layouts are virtually identical except for the language.
