We never had those in this country, but are we talking about the DVDs that were supplied in sealed packed, and which reacted with air to become unplayable a certain number of hours after opening the packet?
What was the objection to those? I thought it sounded like a brilliant idea for DVD rental stores to save all the bother of having to return them.
AFAIK, they didn't require a special player - they were perfectly normal DVDs other than the fact that they had an oxygen-sensitive dye in the material from which they were made.
