Just bought Dio - At Tokyo super rock festival. The locality now is Denmark, probably because Denmark added it first to the base, and the CoO is set to Japan, because it was recorded there. However, the disc is encoded in NTSC, which we don't have in Scandinavia/Europe. The rating is in German, see added scan. So what would be the right locality for this DVD? NTSC with German rating, and region 0??

It's not terribly uncommon for European releases to be NTSC. It looks German to me.

Yes, at least the rating symbol is german and the "GEMA" (GEMA – Gesellschaft für musikalische Aufführungs- und mechanische Vervielfältigungsrechte) is a german performance rights organization.

That was what I thought too, but the NTSC was a bit confusing..

Yeah, this happens quite often with Music DVD releases. I own at least several that are clearly a Euro locality, but an NTSC disc.

In Europe most music DVDs are released in multiple localities, some of which must have a ratings logo, and some where that is optional.

We should just include such DVDs in multiple localities where the DVD has been sold/bought.

And since European PAL equipment can handle NTSC, sone DVDs are released worldwide with NTSC.

So this one should at least go to the German locality, and maybe to others as well.

I am not sure CoO Japan is correct, sinc ethe location of the concert may not be the determining factor. Who produced the movie?

This happens more than you would think. UK release of An Evening with Kevin Smith was NTSC and I've come across some films released that way also in the UK.

As long as it's coded for all regions, NTSC is fine. I would only exclude region 1 discs from the European localities.

The dvds from the Masterplan label are questionable, to say the least. They can be compared to the Falcon Neue Medien label from Germany that released dozens of bootleg music titles a couple of years ago.

Well it looks legit, not a scanned cover or disc, I bought it from cdon.no, but the quality are more questionable. I suspect they have authored it from a VHS copy, in one song I see stripes over the screen which we used to see at the good old VHS days when the tape was worn out So it's not the best DVD release I have bought..
