yes. yes. yes.
I HATE animating menus. Why the hell do i want to have a 25sec
animation BEFORE the frickin' menu shows up, followed by a 25sec
animation AFTER I hit "PLAY FEATURE"/??!!?
Then there's the MI5 menu. Gwad. I know the menu designers must've
been oh-so-pleased with themselves for making such a "clever" menu but
gwad, it sucked. I love the show. Hate the dvds. S3 UK dvd had
normal menus...
I've been buying alot of Japanese R2 DVDs. THey do have a full menu,
BUT when you start the dvd, it plays the "No copy" Warning and then it
goes directly to the feature. You wnat to go to the menu? hit MENU.
How nice is that?!
The OPPO dvd player has a nice feature: when it's loading the dvd, as
soon as it changes from "Loading" to "DVD-Video", if you hit MENU, it
skips all the forced trailers, fbi warnings, etc, and jumps right to
the MENU.
And that brings me to PUOPs. Gwad, I would pay an extra $100 for a DVD
Player to ignore PUOPs...
