It's very much like the Enhanced CD/E-CD/CD+/CD-Plus idea from four years ago; audio content for you car/home stereo, and audio+multimedia content for your computer. The case you note of Pleasantville is probably a matter of how the additional content was authored, rather than a strict Mac/Wintel DVD technology issue. In other words, they may have authored in a tool which made a Mac port more difficult. In the case of Enhanced CD/E-CD/CD+/CD-Plus, the additional content was often a Director app which made cross-platform development relatively easy. There's no reason why supplemental DVD content can't be done that way (within the technical boundaries of the authoring tool)&#151it just wasn't (apparently) in the case you describe. Enhanced CE/E-CD/CD+/CD-Plus was never a big success anyway. So perhaps this situation is minor issue.
