DVD is an annoying mediaformat, filled with barriers, obstacles and annoyances towards the enduser. The dvdplayer constantly tells you what you can and can not do, if you feel like fast forwarding through the “please do not pirate this movie”-text, youre immediatly shown a stop sign. Even though you bougt it, you cant fast forward. Its fair to assume that pirated material doesnt have this text still left in them, so they likely have a higher and much better user experience where the customer is in charge.

I wonder if theres a move somewhere in the industry trying to get rid of this, likely not since it seems to get worse for each movie i buy.

Putting on a dvd for your kid, needs 6 clicks on the remote and somewhere between 10-30 secs of wait between each, all because WB feel the need to spin their logo in my face and tell me that others use to pirate their movie. Oh, btw, thats a good idea, maybe Ill do that next time.

I would pay double for a dvd that did let me skip this junk, or double for the movie that just consisted of the movie. Or at least, give me some sort of “dvd-player-version-of-cookies” so we only have to see this junk once, at least once per player.

Is blueray any better perhaps?
