I dunno..  Maybe it's just a technicality, but on a computer, I think video playback really only happens in the software - so the software program you're running is the "player", and the optical drive is only reading the data (thus the drive isn't the "player").

Just a linguistic pet peeve, similar to how some people say things like "could care less" or using the incorrect their/they're/there. :)
