[geeks] DVD CD

[Kevin]

Well we don't have a normal DVD player around to test it here at
work.  Mplayer/linux would play it under almost any
circumstances, so that would not be a good test.  We are trying
to give her her disc today and that be the end of it.  My gut
feeling is that it will work but if it doesn't she has to make
another trip.  I'll burn a DVD for her and a CD/DVD for me and
test mine later just to answer the question.

Thanks,
/KRM
