pet hate: DVD intros
-
Agghh, I hate this. If I put a DVD into my player, I want to be able to start watching it right then. Or at the very least, be taken to the menu screen. Why is it that you're often forced to sit through several seconds of hog-wash-bollocks-intro-for-no-reason-bullsh*t? It's even more irritating when there's an intro behind each of the menu options too! :confused: :mad: Cheers, Simon "From now on, if rogue states want to buy weapons of mass destruction, they're going to have to go on eBay," Mr. Bezos said.

But that does not avoid the in-between-menu intros. I thought the Black Hawk Down menu intros were great though :-D

Just wait, soon we'll have a Tivo-like device built into DVD players that lets you pause, rewind, fast-foreward, and resume whereever you want. Then there'll be lawsuits. Then there'll be DVD 2.0, or whatever, and you'll have to buy a new player, which will this time make you sit through commercials *during* the movie. Then a Tivo will come out for that. Rinse, Repeat... Who wins in all of this? The remote control makers, of course... ;) Shog9 ------

Buy some kids DVDs, they often have 3-4 minutes of shorts that you can't avoid.

VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002
