Particularly when you consider that it was atrophying away for many versions towards the end as-is. There is an issue as goes DVD playback in that, as far as I'm aware, libdvdcss doesn't actually work on Haiku - so DVDs don't even play in the Haiku builds of VLC I've produced in the past (and which used to be in the pre-alpha images before the massive lift on what codecs the media kit had) With a working libdvdcss it should be possible to do DVD playback via the media kit I'd suspect - create the DVD as a source node.
