Yes, it is the compulsory advert watching that is now occuring on the latest DVD's especially the indian ones! There is no way to get out of them, i don't mind seeing it once but then every time you want to access the disc you have to wait 2 mins until you get anywhere. I don't mind the compulsory thing being used for the FBI warning thing (R1) etc but not for adverts. At least with videos you could fast forward, with DVD you can do nothing!!
Apart from this one niggle, DVD is excellent and when it becomes recordable it will be revolutionary, video watch out!!
What does everyone else think.

My DVD player will not let me skip the FBI warnings or some trailers (like on Tarzan).
What makes me even more mad is a month after I splashed the cash of my player from Techtronics, they introduced a new mod that enables you to skip these intro's. :mad:
:eek:

I was saying pretty much the same thing to my wife yesterday.
I got the Bluray boxed set of Band of Brother as a Christmas present, and we've been watching it over the last few days. (Still fantastic at the second watching btw).
Being forced to sit through 2+ minutes of pirate warnings in three different languages has stopped me buying any more boxed sets.
I'll just download them and store them on my Nas in future.
Never bought a DVD, and don't intend to - certainly if it's full of that garbage.
But none of the Blu-Ray disks I've got stop you skiping any of the rubbish that might be at the start of the disk. And as far as I recall only seen one disk with an FBI anti-piracy warning (for all of about half a second before I hit the skip button )
yeah it's the one thing that totally ruins that boxset.... havine those damned warnings in several languages forced onscreen for what seems like eternity. Excellent series though.
We have paid to watch adverts?
Do the opposite and boycott the things you are forced to sit through.
