That depends on whether the DVD will fit onto the media its to be burnt to.
If the DVD needs to be resampled in order to get it to fit onto the burnt
media, then you need to be able to decypher it to be able to do that.
It's sad to hear that d-m.o has caused some upgrade trouble. I've yet to
encounter this myself (that I know of).
It would be nice to have some clear instructions on how to set up a Pin to
lower the priority in apt for d-m.o packages. Will the following do the
trick?
Package: *
Pin: origin "www.debian-multimedia.org"
Pin-Priority: 100
