Not sure what it does, really.  Not something I really worked on, but it 
should be getting addressed in the next feature I'm doing..

More like, all the players (that I've seen, at least) require a different 
command line option to play a VCD than they do to play a DVD.  Ability to 
play a regular audio CD (call mythmusic and have it start playing the disc, 
or something), etc
