The DVD Spec defines a scripting capability, allowing such things as:

• Variable play order
  • Random - e.g. for public display - though”random” does not guarantee “different track each time”.
  • Inferred from user-input - e.g. questionnaire
• Simple quiz games.
• Passcode-protected content (not secure but at least some kind of disuasive barrier).
