Why can't I access the "Rumours" interview on the DVD-A?

I picked up the Fleetwood Mac "Rumours" DVD-A. I don't have a DVD-A capable player, but figured I could at least see and hear the interview portion on my DVD-V. No go. There are four options, including interview and credits, and I can't access them. All I can do is hit play and listen to the album and select stereo or surround from the remote. I've tried everything.

Why is this?

The creators of the DVD-A disc decide which features to allow a DVD-V player to access, even if the content itself is carried in the DVD-V "zone" of the disc. Extra value features such as interviews are typically reserved for DVD-A playback units, but there's no set rule. Your DVD-V player is fine.

Thank you for your response. This just confirms the bogus promotional info (some of it on this board) about how a standard DVD-V player will play everything except the DVD-A music portion.
