Actually Sami there are already DVDs available that are basically the same thing, but probably with a more limited library of questions.

I just bought five of these discs to fill any possible gaps in the xmas schedule that might crop up.. There's a 'beat the intro' DVD where you have to identify music tracks from certain decades (or a mixture) within 10 seconds, 'Bullseye' - a darts based quiz (!), Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, Trivial Pursuit & 'Telly Addicts'.  The structure of DVD lends itself perfectly to these kind of games (with multiple choice answers).

Most of them are on the 'Universal' label, and some are presumably available in other parts of the world.  So why reinvent the wheel?

BTW the quality of these things is astounding - they're very well put together.

Just my £0.02 worth.

Regards,
Justin.
