adding "show dvd's" to the "watched" button defeats the purpose of the watched button. its for a particular type of filtering and "show dvd's" doesnt fit. but it should trivial to identify movies which are on disc by the path. the problem is that they need to have been scanned into the databse.
i've never heard of dvd profiler so i dont know how it works but i assume it somehow adds discs into the database. an alternate (but manual) method would be to use something similar to a .cut file which contains a title, the disc name, and the path to the item. (the path is the tricky part. its really dependant on the type of disc but an app could be written to produce the file for a given disc.) then the scanning process can import the data found in these files and prompt the user with a "enter disc named foo" when they go to play a movie on disc and its not in the drive already.
