    Hi,
    I can't believe how terrible DVDs are these days with so many warnings, promos, ads and unskippable things before I can even start to watch my film.

    Anyone know of any inexpensive region free DVD players that have some great ability to allow me to skip directly to the Menu and can even skip past all those normally unskippable sequences?

    Not that we're condoing such a thing, but this ever so good graphic immediately springs to mind :P

    @ the OP, I'm afraid there are no FANCY dvd players out there that will skip all this nonsense. It's built into the disc.

    If you're really that pushed though, you could *cough* re-author the disc on your PC, making a more user friendly backup copy of the movie.

    There are actually DVD palyers that have functions that can skip past these forced warnings, ads and trailers.

    The thing is you'd have to test the DVD player in a shop!

    I had a Hitachi player that had a "DIsc navigation" button which brougth you to a separate player generated menu as soon as you pressed this button bypassing the forced menus and from here you could access the main menu.

    I've seen players with "Random" buttons which will as you'd expect just play a random title + chapter.

    As I say, it's not easy to come across them. Best bet would be go into a load of shops and ask to see the remote controls and then fiddle with the buttons.
