A skin shows 'DVD' or 'BluRay' etc based on the filename (or foldername) of the movie (actually I think it's based on the entire pathname). If the name contains the string 'DVD' it shows the DVD icon / flag.

Not all skins do this... it's a "hack". Some behave nicely and ONLY get media information from the XBMC engine, some misbehave and parse the pathname to figure it out, and some simply don't care so don't display anything.
