According to ZDNet:

Warner Bros. <http://www.warnerbros.com>  confirmed Wednesday that the
"Meet the Beat Alls" disc, released a week ago by Warner Home Video, has
been recalled because the DVD spreads the "FunLove" computer virus to
any PC that installs the supplemental software.

This virus modifies system files and can render a PC inoperative.  It
CANNOT infect component DVD players, such as those you would connect to
your home entertainment system.  You HAVE to place the DVD in a Windows
based PC with a DVD drive and install the optional software to get
infected.  As this virus originated in 1999, any modern and updated
antivirus program should detect it.
