Wow, I don’t even remember that. I’ve been playing DVDs on a computer basically forever, which rarely obeyed such restrictions…
Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 4 months agoOh yeah 100%. Old DVDs had ads that were unskippable, which played before you got to the DVD’s home menu. Usually just ads for other movies that were coming up around the same time the DVD landed. You could usually get around them by hitting Stop twice and then Play to get to the main DVD menu, but not always.

UNLESS you buy the dvd or Blu-ray from the UK. I found that out when I bought the UK version of a movie and when I put the disc in… The movie just fucking started. No earnings, no ads, no features, no menu. Just… Movie.
