I actually bought that distribution just for the DVD player. 
   It was a cyberlink powerdvd player and looked very much 
like the one cyberlink markets for windows.  I tried 
contacting them via their web site for info on it.  It was 
never mentioned on their site and I never received a reply.

I wasn't happy with the turbo distro and later just bought a 
region-free dvd player.

Lindows/Linspire also marketed a DVD player for their distro.

I don't know the status now of either player.
