Using DVD media content in Director

You can link DVD media content to a Director movie and use the DVD media editor to inspect that linked content.
However, you can't actually make changes to DVD content within Director. Rather, you can change the attributes of
the DVD media. Either use the Property inspector prior to playback or use Director's scripting capabilities while the
movie is playing by polling events and modifying properties and methods that affect the linked DVD content.
