ARG!! Need DVD player that both STOPS and goes to MENU "whenever I want"

Sat, 28 Jul 2007 15:46:40 -0700 from :
If any of you have the same problem,

and the same player and the same disc

you can solve it by using the search
function and going straight to Title 1.

Different discs are set up differently, and different players react
differently to the coding of the discs.

A couple of years ago, when Universal started putting in mandatory
previews, there was a minor flamewar because some people reported
they could FF through the preview and others could not, on the same
movie.

Yep, I pointed out that this is what I do. HOWEVER, there is a goofy
thing
where on both DVD players, when I insert the disk it starts it's auto-play
or whatever, and even after its loaded up there is no obeying of the
"stop"
or "menu" keys. At least sporatically.....I haven't yet fault-isolated
this
properly to determine just what causes what, other than to say that all of
this causes me grief


Studio by studio.

Warner titles autostart, for one.

That monster sig block attention problem you have is more than a little
annoying.

Do you always deliberately ignore convention?

I mean really. Normally that's what you accuse me of.


My signatures are begun with a "-- " (dash dash space), which is a standard
usenet convention. This allows you to filter out any signature. The size
of this particular signature is unusually large, but it was a message
important to me.

What convention are you talking about. Further, what are you referring to
when you say that I accused you of something?

It's not the player, it's the disc over-riding the players capability.

It's the player that executes the disc's instructions. There is no reason
that the *player* cannot override the disc's instructions and listen to the
remote regardless.

It's part of the DVD specification. The player has to accept commands
from the disc if it's to abide by the DVD rules and regulations, just
like region coding.

Yes, I don't readily recognize either moniker you're using. While you're at
it, why are you at odds with others here, and why are behaving like a child?

Read complete threads much, idiot?

We KNOW that, dip****.

Yes, he spoke of something that was covered. But your response is far worse
and far more dammaging to the ng.

If you want people to start taking you seriously, and I'm guessing to stop
killfiling you, you should consider stopping the unsolicited ad hominem.

===========================
He is a long time a-hole who keeps coming here under different names.
JoeBlo, DarkMatter, etc.
He is the most fowl-mouthed child to ever come here.
He spews -tard this and -tard that (like a 12 year old boy)

He is both Usenet geek and tech geek:
"Usenet" in that he's ancient enough to miss the old birth-of-Usenet
90's adrenaline-rush days of group regulars tossing the "roast"
flame-quips around (ooh, look, he'll compare me to Norm Wilner, again,
who hasn't posted here since the last millenium)--
And "tech geek" in the AV Club sense, in that he waits for you to
recommend any current technology so he can say no way, dude!--The
obsolete niche classic he still own from fifteen years ago was WAY better!

....Two classic niche-group geek-relics, all rolled up in one.

He is a long time a-hole who keeps coming here under different names.
JoeBlo, DarkMatter, etc.

And that's if he likes you.
(No, really. We mean that. Any posts he *doesn't* like are by "idiots".)

Your unsolicited assessment is worse still.

If you want people to start taking you seriously,


I could give a **** about your assessments.

ALL ad hominem is always unsolicited, idiot.

(Oh, that's the other thing:

One of the reasons his posting is so prolific is that he tends to have
the "Paragraph context" comprehension of a chihuahua on espresso--
And not only will he believe that the last words to appear in a sentence
are what the discussion is now 110% about, he will also attack it with
the exact same adrenaline rush, as if he believed everyone else was now
talking about it.

For example, if you were to say that understanding HDMI was "as easy as
falling off a log", you could expect in five minutes his post of "What
do you know about logs?--Only a total uncoordinated retard falls off of
them! Do you know how long I've been practicing at staying on top of
logs? I was logrollling in the Lumberjack games when you were still
watching RCA!", etc...

JoeBlo,

Never posted using this moniker, idiot.

DarkMatter, etc.
He is the most fowl-mouthed child to ever come here.

Better than you, being that you are "the most retarded poster to ever
come here".

He spews -tard this and -tard that (like a 12 year old boy)

You should probably cease being such a tard then.


You are intent on embarrassing yourself more and more. Try learning from
this.

Go ahead, and try again, this time perhaps without all childishness.

You said that I "normally accuse" you of not following convention. When?
I'm not saying I didn't, I just don't know what the heck you're talking
about.

Not that any of this could possibly excuse your behavior here. Stop your
childish behavior, and *maybe* people will take you seriously in usenet,
which they clearly don't currently.
