Not quite.  It's got to be more of a mar than a scratch.  Fine scratches are 
not fatal, generally.

And yes, there are people I know who use computers who don' have a DVD player 
for whatever reason.

The '91 videodisc format that someone mentioned earlier was probably Laserdisc 
but that was early enough it could have been the Pioneer(?) format which read 
the video via a stylus dragged through the grooves on the disc.  There were 
some production problems with some Laserdiscs that persisted (in theory) until 
DVDs came out wherein the picture would crap out for unknown reasons and the 
disc would be a 12" coaster.
