CEM Player allows you to use pre-programmed edit lists
(e.g. Edit Decision Lists [2]) to watch movies that you own.
I.e. you can watch a DVD while "muting out" or skip certain scenes, deemed objectionable.

This allows you to sit back and relax as you watch a more "sanitized" showing of your DVD.

A. Yes, in theory you could use one of the existing WMC plugins that allows you to "call out" to a 3rd party software to play your files.
Then use the "advanced" mode in sensible cinema "create side-by-side EDL file" button to create an EDL for your previously existing file.
Then make your WMC plugin "call out" to smplayer to play those files (through whatever means it necessary), and
it will automatically pick up and use the EDL file.
You could also use the same side-by-side EDL file with XBMC, which also honors them (need at least an Eden release version).

Q. Is it ethical to watch edited movies?

Their filters sometimes don't cut out all undesired content (ex: Saints and
Soldiers left several profanities in...which was unexpected).
If your standards differ from theirs, I guess you're out of luck.
Clearplay apparently also runs a rather
confusing subscription policy, or so I'm told [1], and their DVD players that
