1436715	2017-06-29 09:19:00	Hi, this feels a really dumb question but I want to buy a DVD from trade me and am unsure if the "UV" thing is going to be an issue. I don't really understand what ultraviolet is all about - all I want is to be able to play the DVD on my DVD player whenever I want, nothing else. If the DVD has DVD/UV am I going to be able to do that? Thanks.	muffin (16317)

And in that case shouldn't I be able to play it on my DVD player without fluffing around with UV?	muffin (16317)

Usually it just means there's a licence for a digital copy you can download included, and almost always for me it's already expired by the time I get the disk. I have several DVDs in my collection with UV logos and licences included that I've bought second hand, they play just fine. It's kind of like a legitimate alternative to ripping your own disks, just less convenient and more restricted.	dugimodo (138)
