DVDs have been annoying me recently. The one I put in just now not only had unskippable trailers but TWO unskippable adverts, too. The latter might be because it's a rental, though.

Several of my kids' DVDs have unskippable trailers and ads, which I think is outrageous.

*nods*

Usually I watch on my PC with AnyDVD on which allows you to skip straight to the menu but I'm writing up the films on the weekend on the side so it's on the TV.

I hate the piracy advert that you can't skip.

All I keep thinking when I see them is that if this was a pirated copy I'd be watching the film by now.

Fortunately the stupid "you wouldn't steal a car" ad can be fast forwarded through at x48

Usually hitting Menu gets you to the root menu.

That sadly doesn't work on some, either. It did on the other DVD I had today.

Those are annoying, aren't they? You can usually FFW through them, but really, they ought to be skippable.
