SNM: DVDs: Skipable Program?

R

Cathlete
I was wondering if it would be possible to make the WARNING and "talk to your doctor, etc." segments at the beginning of the DVDs "skipable?"

When I am trying to do more than one dvd workout at a time, I am already warmed up and in the middle of cardio and when changing the dvd I have to wait for the beginning of the dvd to run through before proceeding to the workout...and I cannot skip forward. This is a bummer. Pretty please? Did you understand that? :p

Actually, you can sometimes "fast forward" through these, depending on how the DVD is set up (shhh....don't tell S&M or the FBI that I do this!)
 
Thanks Kathryn. I have tried all the buttons on my remote and I still can't do it! :(

Okay....tell us how you do it!!! We won't tell the FBI! :p

I discovered yesterday that if I press stop during the intro and then push the title number on my remote it bypasses everything and goes right to where I want to be. You can get a list of Title/Chapter information at VF.

HTH,
 
I am definitely trying that (title button) as soon as I get home! WOW! I feel like there IS "light at the end of the tunnel" ....unless, of course, it's another train coming! hehehe

Thanks!

MENU Button

Most DVDs don't allow it, but Cathe's all do. If you hit the TOP or MAIN MENU button when the intro portion is playing, the top menu will immediately display. I haven't been able to do this with any other DVDs, though.
 
Here is how I do it...As soon as you see that it "reads" the DVD, immediately press, Top Menu and it will skip all the Warning stuff. My "reader" shows 4-0's (0 0 0 0) that go across. (loading) As soon as the last "0" loads, hit Top Menu. Did that make sense???

I just try the "menu" button or the "fast forward" button when the FBI warning comes up. Sometimes I go right to the menu or the DVD goes through the warning faster, sometimes not. I can't remember off=hand which workouts this works on, but I'm pretty sure it does on many of them.
 
Ohhh, I am gonna be pushing some buttons tonight! :D

Thank you sooooo much for posting ladies!

Mine skips with the newer DVD, such as IS, but not Cardio Hits CTX, Circuit Max, etc. Does yours work with the older ones also?

It doesn't work for the older DVD's (Slow & Heavy) for me, but all the newer ones I can just press Menu and it skips to the menu right away. I think that's a feature that was built in more recently because they realized that people don't want to have to watch all the promo stuff over and over
 
Hello,

THANKS everyone for telling me about pressing the Menu button in order to skip the intro.

This FORUM is so HELPFUL!!! :)
