This means that you can insert your own non-sucky subtitles, make and circulate edit-lists that make highlight reels for your favorite movies, etc, etc. It all amounts to a sweet tool for making the audience into the _former audience_, participants in entertainment. Of course, it's also illegal under the DMCA, since the tool also necessarily circumvents the copy-prevention in pre-recorded DVDs to accomplish its ends.
