Isn't it an abbreviation? Digital Versatile Disks, so it should be D'V'D's. More aprostrophes please.

In reply to ablackett:

No. The plural of an abbreviation does not have an apostrophe.

Apostrophes are used for omission e.g. pick 'n' mix, but not for abbreviation, especially not capitalised abbreviation or dates e.g. MOTs not MOT's and 1990s, not 1990's
