I am speaking from the stone age here, and am merely curious.

I wonder if what you saw was an auto-start program that SAID it wouldn't
play the DVD unless you installed some crap.

That is, what happens if you just run your PC DVD software and point it to
the DVD? Would it play, or is the DVD somehow encoded so it fails with PC
software (but not a DVD player)?
