Even if DVD's are unclssified they couldn't be ablet to prosecute him for violating the OPA if the defence could find examples of films already approved by the BBFC depicting the exactly same kind of thing, so I think he must have been promoting something that was clearly against the OPA.

That's what he was convicted for Gunni - Obscene Publications. To get a conviction on that there has to be evidence of violations - ie possibly scat and or, some other contentious material. It's kinda rare to get a jury to convict on lesser content and the DPP has better stuff to do that chase porn. He is also highly unlikely to pursue an action unless there is a reasonable chance of conviction - they are aware of costs and budgets
95% of cases like this have a lot more underneath.
