Can we get rid of the waiting time at the start of some DVDs before we get to the menu? I know, 2257 is a big deal, but can we at least be allowed to fast forward? Some DVDs force you to sit through their logo stuff as well, very annoying.

Hate the waiting also especially if you also have to watch the force phone ads. At least with tape you could fast-forward throught that very easy.

If the industry could standardize the duration of the various 2257, FBI, etc. screens, that would be a nice change. At least viewer would know what to expect (5seconds vs. 30seconds)

Those phone ad's are annoying,most people just want to put the dvd on and have a powerwank.By the time your forced to watch those ad's your about as soft as an ice cream on a summers day.

I don't mind this stuff if I can fast forward though it.

It used to be that we complained about RLD with this stuff, but recently one can FF over it or just jump the the main menu. I've noticed that Vouyer Media has us sitting thru a minute and a half. I just flip over to TV and watch something there.

Good call HeyNow, I've noticed that you can FF through the RLD movies now.
There are still a few companies that disable the FF and force you to sit through all this stuff, it is frustrating, but thankfully less common these days.

I never have ANY PROBLEMS with any dvd...ALL U HAVE 2 DO IS...
Hit menu on your remote while the disc is in the player...BUT, BEFORE YOU HIT PLAY.
IF it has already started to play into these stupid intro's..then just HIT STOP, THEN MENU.
Hopefully this helps.

And yes, That stuff is pretty annoying although I think telephone sex ads are the worst.

Slightly OT -
I tell ya what I hate. I hate when you hit "eject" and 15 seconds later, the thing finally ejects the fucking disc. what the fuck could it possibly be doing for 15 seconds when all it has to do is move a disc a few inches?
And then, when you put a disc in, the little LCD thingee reads "loading" for like 15 seconds. I can only imagine how early adopters of DVD technology felt. They spent literally hundreds of dollars on this machine and the goddamn thing can't instantly load a disc or spit one out before you start wondering if it's stuck or something.
2008 and this is what we get. They can't even make a decent remote control anymore. I guess they forgot how. Or maybe it's the iPod craze carrying over to everything else. Soon, I'll need a keenly sharpened pencil tip just to hit "play". And when I do, it'll play after the obligatory 15 second waiting period. Are all DVD players this clunky and badly engineered or is it just my cheap ass shit?

Lol...Good points RandomPrecision. Mine does the same. And the one I owned before that one too. Hm, maybe the player is sad that it has to remove the disc and needs some time to say farewell...
By the way, how do I operate the playback without the remote control? Are there possibilities to change i.e. the language using those 4 buttons on the front?
What bothers me right now real bad is the parental lock. When I try to play my "Dreamquest" DVD I have to type in the code after every title/chapter change although it is turned off in the main menu...
BTT:
I own some DVD's that have the ads in the menu, why can't everyone do that? That way you can watch the ad if you want to...

You think the ads are bad Blu-Ray and HDDVD players take a min just to turn on, it takes some getting used too. As for the ads (regular) Vivid is by far the worst I put it in my DVD player and come back five mins later.

This is why I really like JJV, Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, and Evasive Angles. I don't have to wait. Just press the menu button, and boom, there I go.

Ta-da! Yep, that is the one that works! I guess I never hit on that combo - instead just going for menu, FF or next chapter. Kind of a "duh" moment for dudes like me.

§2257 sec.18 is following me in my dreams.
It seems to be the only law, that even people know, who arent interested at all in politics or law. The US §2257 made an international "career".
In some europorns, we have to watch these laws, or the national equivalent, in every european language. The longest 2257 intro I had seen was running nearly 5 minutes, it was impossible to fast forward or skip this.
I deeply regret, that esperanto never was established as the general european language....

30-second mandatory waiting periods are good for all kinds of firearms.
Even the crotch cannon.
You can spend that time preparing a drop cloth that will catch your sperm, or you can be getting a beverage in the kitchen while those screens run in case you develop a thirst later. Or you could fill those 30 seconds with Hulk Hogan style intro music as your pants-dropping ceremony commences. The choice is yours! The power is yours! Those mandatory loading screens are an opportunity for you to lick stamps, sweep the linoleum, adjust yourself like a baseball player, make an entry in your masturbation journal, check the cat box for pet poo, or make new friends online. Why I've "single-handedly" turned my life around just by better utilizing this time, and so can you! Your new life can start today.

If i owned a dvd that has 2 mins of crap at the beginning (without the ability to fast forward) i'd rip the main feature to dvd-r.

Look at the latest "PRIVATE" DVDs. You can eat a meal, while this lasts. ( 6 minutes ) But you can learn -especially as a non-european- how many countries now belong to the European Union. You can recitate these laws in every language. If you are in Estonia, you can impress other people with your knowledge.
Or.....
Just think of a "state-by-state" §2257 listing, for every state of the USA.
