I dont like the DVD. The problem? It wont let you fast forward through the crap they put at the front of the movie. With VCR you can just fast forward thru all that crap. Also I find that I have more problems with the discs that wont work and the machines go bad too fast. Once in a while an older tape would be eaten but the discs have a lot more problems.

Mine lets me skip all the preview junk, just not the FBI warning stuff.

With VCR you can just fast forward thru all that crap.That's actually due to the manufacturers of the DVD, not an issue of the format... If you buy a commercial DVD, the manufacturer can keep you from fast forwarding through it... But if you record a TV show on a DVD, you can fast forward all you like... And if, like me, you buy DVDs, but keep them archived, you can always "re-author" a DVD using a computer in order to get rid of the stuff you don't like... Of course, someday before long I'm sure that the government will outlaw being able to reauthor DVDs, and even to skip commercials using DVR/PVR on your TV - I'm not kidding about that one... The lobbying groups actually called skipping commercials "stealing."

As the previous poster said that's because of the way disks are authored not the format. However I've never had a disk I couldn't fast forward through everything except the FBI warning (using chapter skip). Maybe you need a different DVD player.

"It wont let you fast forward through the crap they put at the front of the movie."Try using the "Skip" button instead of the Fast Forward. It doesn't always work, but a lot of times it will.

Have you tried using the "menu" button?
