WT* is your problem? I'm sick and tired of paying money for a DVD of whatever tripe you're spewing out, only to be bombarded with an endless array of ads before the main menu. I can almost forgive the inconvenience of having to fast forward through this treacle, but the other day I ran across one that wouldn't FF. 5 minutes just to get to the menu of a DVD I PURCHASED????

In short, go straight to hell. I'm reloading by Bit Torrent client and buying a stack of blanks.

I find this is a good opportunity to pass the time with my beloved in the shower.

I am with you on this one. I would sooner download a DVD over P2P than pay to have someone thrust their unwanted advertising at me. In my mind, Disney is the absolute worst at this invasion.

DVD producers - wake up and fix this before people stop buying your advertising altogether.

Skip through the ads.

Or use a player which ignores them. Like VLC.

I don't think any of the DVDs I have watched have had ads. Is this an American thing?

start the dvd 5 minutes before you actually want to start watching the movie...by the time you can start the actual movie, you should have the popcorn made, and your soda with ice all ready
