  Just rip it and skip it!

    If you don’t want to wait for it to rip, you can play it in VLC. It will let you skip anything you want to.

      On a specific DVD I skipped straight to beginning of movie and had playback errors, I had to skip to menu and start movie from there.

  Most of the DVDs I’ve played can skip the previews with chapter selection, but daaang the blu-rays locked that up. Can’t skip anything at all!

    I guess I’ve just been spoiled on Criterion Collection as that’s the only Blu-ray media I buy these days, because there’s nothing before the menu besides maybe a splash screen with the Criterion logo.

    If you keep an eye on prices on Amazon, these versions are not as pricey as they used to be.

  Press stop, then stop again, then play on your remote. That’s a fairly universal way to skip straight to the movie.

    Do you know where I can go right to the movie and not see all that stuff about the FBI?

    On all the movies I download.

  And lots of that crap is anti piracy propaganda. Stuff, actually pirates never see.

    Way back when I used to copy movies to .avi files, my computer was in one room, my TV in another, I had a video card with TV out and a long set of cables, I’d preserve the copyright warning because it gave me time to start the movie then walk to the living room to watch it…

  Hilariously VLC will happily skip the “unskippable” ads on DVDs
