What kinda BS DVD doesn't let you skip the previews?

[ThePresence]

Rented The Good Shephard from Hollywood Video.

Frikkin DVD won't let me skip the previews.

Pure BS. :|

With every movie I've seen that has previews before the menu, one or more of these works:
1. Menu
2. Fast Forward
3. Chapter skip

Usually one or more of those is disabled, but at least one works.

Yep. Thats what sucks about buying previously viewed vids from there. You own it, and can't skip it.

Part of a revshare agreement.

The kind of movie you rip and take the uneeded crap like that out of anyways. Sheesh son, do I have to tell you EVERYTHING?

I've had movies that do that and on both of my DVD players you can hit stop twice and then play, and it skips the previews, menu altogether and goes straight to the movie. Not sure if this is true for all DVD players though.

VHS FTW!!!!

I like running DVDs off of software that can skip the crap and even go right into the movie, but not everyone is going to be playing DVDs off of a computer or hardware that can do such things.

Justified for movies you own, but getting sketchy considering we're talking about a rental here.

I've always been able to skip the previews. Try hitting the "title" or "menu" button.

 

[huberm]

that is a big pet peeve of mine. If I purchased the video, why the heck can't I skip through whatever I want on it????
