I have yet to see anybody have a need to show a DVD in a meeting. It's 
much more usual to need to show PowerPoint, or some WMA-encoded file on 
the file server / intranet, or a VNC/RDP session or something like than 
than a plain ordinary DVD.

Also, I would imagine most companies have lots of laptops around the 
place, but approximately 0 DVD-players.

But sure, in principle, if showing a DVD is what you actually want to 
do, a DVD player is, sockingly, the most efficient way to do this.

Unless you have my mum's DVD player. In that case, using a light 
microscope to transcribe the pits and flats by hand and perform the DCT 
with pencil and paper would be far, far faster than waiting for the 
player to start up. :-P
