Things I hate about DVDs

DVDs are just weirdly manufactured to do plain annoying things... and here's a list of really annoying things!

1) Long opening run of various company logos and warning and other crap that no-one cares about...

2) Incessant playing of the theme music on the main menu screen. You might be in the kitchen, grabbing a snack, and just keep hearing the same music over and over and OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU JUST GO INSANE!

3) DVDs that "helpfully" start the movie after a while. Again, in the kitchen getting a snack, and then you get in to find the movie's already been playing for a while and you have to juggle things trying to get back to the beginning...

Any more?

Ohhh,

I think it was the last set of House DVDs had the old "piracy as ironmongery" ad automatically called up at the end of EVERY episode. It was fine as long as you remembered to cut away to the menu before the end of the credits, but if you forgot you had to sit through the whole thing, because once start it wouldn't let you out.
