Yeah, that's true, but from what I can make out, any film/dvd release in
the UK is supposed to go through them for vetting. I've only found one
instance (so far) of a dvd that I could buy in the UK that wasn't listed
on the BBFC website. As a said previously, it's a "better than nothing"
option. Rewind isn't flawless as a reference either, so it could be
argued that any DVD purchase is a bit of a gamble, features and cuts wise.
