Best DVD Easter Egg ever, and this really works on nearly all discs and all players. When you pop in the disc and the auto-preview garbage starts up, hit STOP, STOP, and then PLAY. In most players, this automatically starts the main feature on the disc. I found this info in a youtube vid some weeks ago. I'd credit it, but don't have the URL.
This doesn't always work. I've run into disks that won't allow you to hit the stop button. Several Funimation disks do this during the previews. Can't skip forward, can't fast-forward, can't use the menu and manually enter track number, and can't hit stop.
The Stop button should NEVER be prohibited. That's just f-ing silly.
