American DVD won't work in Europe for two reasons. First, the color encoding system is different. Although North American and European color encoding work in similar ways, they are not compatible.
The major issue is that commercial DVDs have a region code imbedded in them. A DVD coded for the North American market will not work in players made for Europe or other parts of the world. There are a small number of DVD players that ignore the region code but they are hard to find and normally have no manufacturer's warranty.
It is far, far less complicated to simply buy the right DVD for the player.
