You are incorrect. What he mentions is a NON-standard disc form
factor that would have features such as a smaller hub opening or zone
sectored recording method. If there were no commercially available
readers, and the DVD slit opening drive was proprietary, you would
NEVER "read" the disc. Only players would.
A small mag strip device like the grocery store use could work. It
IS quite doable, and could be made quite cost and time prohibitive to
actually hack, and could also be made to detect such hacks and shut
off a player completely, requiring a service jaunt. Such an event
would be so costly to a consumer they they would never place a hacked
disc in their player again, let alone the "known thieves" list they
would be incorporated into.
