Really? Cor, you couldn't pay me to use a DVD in 2016. The un-skippable FBI warnings, the ads, the ads, the ads, the awful, confusing menus, the load times. Netflix may not be perfect, and may be getting worse, but at least it's not a fucking DVD.
- ensignavenger 10y agoIf you use VLC, you can skip a lot of the "unskippable" garbage.
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoVLC certainly helps with that. It does have one downside relative to streaming: VLC can't seem to remember where I stopped watching a DVD. Every time I bring my Linux box back from sleeping, the DVD has to get remounted (or something like that), and VLC has amnesia about where I had stopped it. So I end up having to write down where I stopped, and re-navigate the just-put-a-DVD-into-the-drive menus, every time I come back to the movie. I would have expected this to be a solved problem, but perhaps my Google Fu is just weak.
