[MacDV] Recycling CDs and DVDs

[Gerhard Kuhn]

The idea is to allow movie rentals without needing to worry about  
returning the disks.  Great idea for travelers, there is a  
environmental cost but driving a Chevy Suburban 5 miles to return a DVD  
could have a higher cost.  Just think you will never have to worry  
about were to put your cold DAB again.
