I did take a look at the cd.py file. Thanks dario, that was what I was
looking for. Buried away down three levels and hard to find. I don't think
it would be difficult to make a dvd.py file for the dvd module. They are
fairly similar, in that yes a dvd is basically a "big cd". Still, I am sure
there will be some modifications. Now I have an excuse to bug the wife about
getting a dvd-burner. Really, honey, it's to help out with the gang at CL.
