Quick Start "cheat" for HD-DVD movies

I´ve been doing this with my (S)-DVDs for a while now. Saves time!

I never used to mind the logo/intro screens before, but now I also skip right to scene 1 to avoid the (for some reason?), uncleaned up, stale looking graphic, like in Blazing Saddles for instance - it was the first hd dvd I threw in my player when coming home with the A2 (because I had recently watched the SD), the grainy as hell WB logo popped up and I thought *uh-oh, this is not gonna look much better than SD!* - thankfully, twas just the logo, as the movie started and I said, ahhhh - WHEW!


Yep, I now skip right to the 1st scenes, quickly becoming an hd only snob! =)

Never tryed this before, what a good idea ill try that the next time I watch a HDDVD.

All I've got left to watch is corpse bride and V for vendeda. I've seen both on DVD. I also watched a few scences on each HD-DVD to cheek the admired PQ,AQ. I think ill watch corpse bride as I've only seen that 2 times....


Or prehapps pulp fiction on DVD, that's what plags me so many movies and I can never decide which to watch.

Man, I can't believe that I have never thought of this, excellent idea!! Sort of like the invention of Bottled water, now why didn't I think of that, would have been rich right now.

GREAT tip! Thanks for sharing, PFreddy.

Ditto!

I've been doing this for years with DVDs, and at one point a while back I noticed that they "wised up" in some cases and had it so the disclaimers would play if you selected scene one. The next time, I would select scene 2 and go back one chapter. Heh.

I guess I will Implement this new method now, as I am going to go watch superman returns...
