Way to Start the Movie Without the Previews?

I'm sure this question has been asked a million times before,
but is there any quick way to get past the "prohibited operations"
section of a DVD and get directly to the movie? Perhaps this
varies with the players, but I'm not aware of any player that
touts this capability.
Help much appreciated!

Many times if you press Stop and then Menu it
will go to the menu bypassing the irritating
stuff at the start of a disc.

Depends on the disc. Some of them are nice and let you just hit the "menu"
button to escape. Others I've found that hitting the "next" button will
start the movie.

What is even worse is all the promotional **** Disney makes you watch
prior to getting to the movie.. Disney and Walmart are just like AOL
and Time Warner. They are falling apart under their own weight.

Make a copy of the DVD, removing that content and all of the disc's
prohibited operations? DVD Shrink can do that.

I don't think getting rid of these prohibited operations is worth going
through the time of burning a new DVD. Most discs will allow you, one way
or another, to bypass the preview screens.

Try Menu, Skip and FFwd. Usually at least one of the three will let
you skip or fast forward through at least some of the junk.

Or put the DVD in, go get a snack and when you get back it should be
ready to go.

That's exactly what I do when I purchase a new DVD. I immediately make a
copy with DVD Shrink/Nero, store the original and use the copy. I very
rarely have any interest in the extras, fancy menus etc. I just copy the
movie. Fairly quick and painless. I also have a dedicated 300GB external HD
that is solely used to storing all my backup copies in case the "original"
copy gets trashed by the kids. I can then use Nero to make another copy
chop chop.
