Yep, you got it in one! Start a DVD and you have to sit through no end of
intro crap before the 'skip' button becomes active. At best you can skip the
opening credits but you tend to miss the first few minutes of the film too!
I want to start a film at the point where a film starts! Is that too much to
ask? It's like not being able to fast forward a rental video until after all
the trailers for other films (and sometimes the film you're about to watch)
have finished! Even music CD's allow you to skip the crap tracks that you've
never heard of in a 'Best of' compilation! <gg>

Richy.
