Mark Knopfler: Night in London PAL format

Wonderful performance, excellent-quality production. Mark Knopfler's performances are always a delight, and he surrounded himself with gifted musicians for this performance.I had no problem playing the DVD using multimedia drives I use with my computers.

Awesome video for any Mark Knoppler fan!!

I am lucky enough to have an Oppo Universal blu-ray player, so this PAL disc played just fine for me. This is an obviously recorded for TV performance (BBC), with a 4:3 aspect ratio and stereo-only audio track. Except for a couple of songs, this entire performance finds Kopfler in a decidedly down-tempo, almost melancholy mood. The talented supporting musicians are first rate, but are not presented very well here in a decidedly low-fidelity audio recording, especially considering it was made in 1996, when much better techniques were readily available. Enjoyable, but not the best Knopfler out there.

Loved this one Mark Knopfler at his best.

Won’t plat in American DVD players

BE CAREFUL ABOUT DVD FORMAT. I ordered this and it would not work on my more recent Blu Ray player. However it did work on my older Denon Home Theatre system which seems to offer more format choices. It appears to be in PAL format although it was listed as multi format. When I move form my Denon player I may be out of luck, but for now it works for me. I'll cross that bridge later.

When I bought this, I thought it did all formats since it mentioned PAL. They should be clear that it doesn't do the other formats. I sent it back within the next two days and they charged a restocking fee. Also, it came with the case cracked and damaged!

good recording
