A person that I know who most assuredly isn't me has a policy that the kid doesn't touch original DVDs. That in the process of making non-original DVDs, you can set the DVD to automatically start right at the movie upon insert is just a bonus. (There's an age where setting the DVD to auto-loop is useful too.)

It's just too easy for original DVDs to get destroyed. Also, this person has a car DVD player that this person doesn't really trust not to destroy the DVD on a particularly hard bump. (Ironically, this person's DVD player finds it easier to play the burned DVD copies; the player refuses to play about 10% of the original DVDs this person has put in it.)
