play them. Around 40 per cent of the discs are now played on computers rather
than domestic DVD players. But video companies such as VCI keep getting
complaints about jerky pictures and out-of-step sound because software alone
cannot smoothly decode DVD content. So VCI, whose DVD titles include Brassed
Off and My Beautiful Laundrette, will now label movies like
computer software, telling buyers that computers need a digital decoder card to
play the movie properly.
