Hello all,
We now interrupt our regularly scheduled flaming to bring you the
following on-topic post. ;-)
I have, until now, been avoiding having anything to do with DVDs, due to
the "issues" surrounding their use. (I was afraid I would be arrested for
turning it on or something.) However

The various iterations of most software have some major bugs in them.

OK, before the "My distro is better than yours" starts again, I can save
