I would say that 0.22 makes an OK DVD player, the developers have much
improved it over 0.21.  There are enough discs that don't play or have
strange behavior, but work fine in my DVD player that I still want to
have a DVD player around.  I do try to play most discs in Myth, and
most work; but most isn't really good enough.
