Casale: > Again, > You are confusing option prohibitions with menu's. No, I am not. You try playing some discs without sitting through warnings, adverts, menus and things before the bit that you want to see. On some discs you cannot, at all, unless you have one of the few players that let you bypass that - and many don't, these days. I'm well aware that menus aren't required to be on DVDs. I've already said that. But some DVDs are authored in a way that you can't use *that* disc without going through their *supposedly* *helpful* menus. Some discs even subvert the standard of having the first video file the main program, to thwart those players which let you instantly play the first video file instead of the menus. My point about all of that was that it would make it next to impossible to use some discs if you didn't have a television connected to the player. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
