you do know what Fast Play is, right? An idea that should have been
implemented by ALL movie studios FROM THE START.
And really, right now, PUOPs are still in effect for the FBI warning
(and sometimes Interpol, etc). And MANY dvds have PUOPs in place
DURING THE MENU, many of which animate for quite a while both before
the menu is usable and AFTER you select PLAY. Minor inconvenience?
Yes. Pointlessly avoidable? Damb yes. This is about 95% of why
DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink are mandatory utilities on my PC.
