DVD Player that can skip forced trailers?

    Hi, there's quite a few DVDs out there that upon start up force you to watch a barrage of trailers and warnings etc. Some DVDs are authored so that there's no way around them ie. hitting Stop and then Play or jumping to the Main Menu. Does anyone know of a DVD player available that has the ability to override these? I've had a few players over the years that had a 'Disc Navigation' or a Program button where the former would show you a page of all the Titles and Chapters on the disc and you could skip straight to whatever you wanted and the latter allowed you to programe specific Titles or Chapters which was a cute way around the forced start up videos. The first was a Hitatchi which I bought in 2001 and broke a few years ago, the second one was a 'PYE' which I think is a Phillips clone and it too is dying (the disc tray won't open and a message appears on the OSD saying 'blocked'.

    Has anyone come across a DVD player with a similar feature where you can jump straight to a specific Title/Chapter and thus bypass the forced trailers, ads and warnings? If there's a blu-ray out there with a similar feature I'd love to see it but I'd say that's doubtful...
