I have heard of companies that edit movies to make them clean and sell the edited movies as "family friendly." What if someone were to make a DVD player that took "script" files that told it where to skip and when to beep or mute. It could probably also pixelate/block a part of the screen when needed. Then when you want to watch a DVD you would download the script file and watch a clean version of the film.
The DVD player would probably have to start out only working on computers. This could also work well for other uses. If you made a DVD of your child's soccer game you could make a script that is a 5-minute overview of the game but still keep the whole game.
Does this exist? Would it work? Are there licensing/copyright issues with the DVD format owners?

A friend mentioned that this might work especially well with TV and a Tivo. Now that Tivo has a Java API published it wouldn't be too hard to implement.
Someone told me that this already exists. http://www.clearplay.com/
