Yes good question!

newer devices should be able to play older media, no? and older devices

My suggestion was to differentiate my bluray/hddvd drive to my older dvd. In
one look i can find/explore the optical device drive wich contains the
buray/hddvd i have inserted or the optical device i want to configure/see
properties....It's just my "user" view : many times i click on the incorrect
device between my CDROM drive and my DVD drive...

i tend to agree with kevin on this one...
