This DVD is enhanced with Disney Fastplay

>>150927168 (OP)
Cherish these ancient times, for they shall never come upon us again

What did fast play do? Skip previews? Menus? Play at 2x speed?

>forced to watch ads on your own fucking DVD

>>150928232
I might be wrong, but I think you just have to stick the disc into the player and it'll play ads and then the movie, so mom doesn't even need to spend another second getting the movie going.

>>150928761
No, man. You don't understand, the adverts were the best part.
I doubt zoomers and gen alpha will be nostalgic for the midroll ads for their youtube kids videos.

>>150928894
>the adverts were the best part.
Not after the hundredth time watching them. Not letting the owner of the movie skip to the main menu after the copyright bullshit was cunt behavior. VHS was dogshit too, but retards keep jerking it off despite it being a pain in the ass and completely rendered obselete by DVD unlike other tape formats.

>Not letting the owner of the movie skip to the main menu after the copyright bullshit
What kinds of DVDs were you working with? Skipping to the Main Menu was always an option on my end.

Sometimes you skipped it by pressing the menu button and sometimes you skipped it with the fast forward button. There was no way to tell.

>>150928232
It just skipped the menu so the movie would start playing after the ads. Kinda like a VHS.

>enhanced
Lol this literally meant nothing. Same with those Diamond Editions they'd release throughout the 2000s.

>>150928894
A 2009 DVD is zoomer, retard. Let me guess you think Xbox 360 is retro.

>>150927168 (OP)
Ooooh... SHINY...

>>150929119
>Not after the hundredth time watching them
>my Jurassic Park blu-ray that automatically updates its ads

>>150928232
The movie just started after the ads were done without taking you to the menu.

>>150931514
Jesus, that's fucking nuts.

>>150931514
You know, I own Wreck-it Ralph on 4K, and the only way to access the extras is to use the Blu-Ray, and the thing is that it still has all of the 2013 trailers for then upcoming Movies, and surprisingly the Gravity Falls trailer was technically the first time the series was on Blu-ray (and probably home media)

>>150930830
The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago. It's retro no matter how much that makes you upset.

>2000s DVD
>Doesn't allow you to skip ads and/or company logos before a movie
Was there anything more frustrating about DVDs?

>>150928761
I never thought about it but that really is fucked I had to see a bunch of bullshit on my VHS tapes before getting to the movies. I pop in a movie, I should see the movie. Three year old me might have been okay with seeing clips and bits of other movies and an advertisement for a Toy Story video game, but I know now I'd hate it.

>>150928232
What is going on with cable networks now faking hd content by playing movies at 1x? Do people really not know what they're looking at when they see this? I was at a hospice ward last month watching Ghostbusters and the hospital's cable tv provider was doing that, and that shit was just...wrong. I mean, it was wrong for ME because 1: I LOVE Ghostbusters and know that movie inside and out, and 2: I knew that was a originally a grainy movie, having come out 5 years after I was born and all, and seeing it look crystal clear set off my BS meter immediately. I got wise to that trick back when I bought my first dvd player back in 1999.

>>150927168 (OP)
I hate to admit I'm nostalgic for these...

That's part of the fun!

well fuck i never actually knew what it meant. nearly 30 and im still learning shit everyday

>>150928232
Fast play skipped the menus and went directly to the previews. You had to click to skip the previews

Anon I have no idea what you're saying here, does
>playing movies at 1x
mean something different from playing them at their original speed? Are you talking about motion smoothing? That's something the TV itself does, not the broadcasting network, and you can turn it off (but probably nobody bothers to do so with TVs in public places like that). But I agree it looks fucking horrible.

>>150928761
The ads were cool

>>150937162
This is actually really cool, I had a Winnie the Pooh CD-ROM game back in the day. I think there was also a Tarzan one and a Mickey & Friends one where you worked Goofy's car wash I vaguely remember

>>150937724
only some of them were

>>150933504
Own your truth, anon.

>>150927168 (OP)
I never knew what this did as a kid. I tried comparing it to regular play but found no difference. Finding out now that it apparently played everything on the disc back to back, I wonder if I was just retarded back then.

>>150927168 (OP)
Breh, what's a DVD??

I wanted to play the Toy Story Animated Storybook so fucking badly as a kid.

Is Disney Interactive still a thing even?

Not this stupid argument again.

Companies are not "persons", so it's okay.

Man, I remember all of these.

>>150930830
When the SNES launched, the Atari 2600 was only 13 years old. When the Xbox 360 was released, the SNES was 14 years old, and it was widely considered “retro.” By that same logic, the 360 is now absolutely old enough to be seen as retro, too.

>It's not about age, it's about style and aesthetic.

Even by that metric, the industry has changed drastically. The jump from the 2600 to the SNES was massive. The jump from the SNES to the 360 was massive. And the difference between gaming then and gaming now is massive. The kinds of games being made, the design of consoles, graphics, and UI, modern systems don’t resemble the 360 era at all.

The Xbox 360 is retro old man.

>>150928761
My Rockadoodle tape had an ad for laundry detergent on it.
It specifically referenced the film and there was a like a $5 rebate thing if you bought the detergent.

>>150928894
too late, I’m already getting wistful about my favorite youtube ads.
> that Key&Peele one where they argue over who finished the 5-second ad read first

>>150928761
I actually enjoyed it back then.

sometimes it's interesting to see old commercials someone recorded on their vhs, like local ads

I can't take it bros. I want to go back...

>>150953857
I watched a documentary from the '70s the other day that had been recorded off TV and the commercials were a great time capsule. Most of them were for drugs, big pharma has had its claws in America for a long time, huh?

>>150954440
Neat find!

>>150951008
This. I refuse to feel bad for a billion-dollar corporation. A few people pirating one of their works won't make a dent in their quarterly earnings.

>>150947288
So sad that the voice of the pirate on the far right passed away at such a young age...

I never minded ads on VHS but I fucking hate ads on disc media. With VHS there was an understanding that these things are kind of disposable. They won't be around forever even if you take good care of them. But "muh disc rot" aside DVDs and blu rays will be around a long ass time and they'll just always have these dated advertisements for movies that are "coming soon" and by "soon" they mean "20 years ago."

It saddens me that genalpha won't ever truly understand the value of home releases. The whole WORLD has always been in the palm of their hand

>>150959459
mucho gusto

>>150959627
Late Gen Z here, I grew up with DVDs, but never desktop computers. All these years later, I hope that Gen Alpha and beyond discover how awesome it is to pirate and own media. With all the stuff that media companies are doing to us, maybe they'll turn against the anti-customer actions; We can only hope.

The 2000s are to now, what the 80s were the 2000s and I'm slowly accepting that.
What gives it extra whiplash is that it really doesn't feel like we've progressed that much, and some cases are moving backwards. The media that released in the 2000s don't look that much different than what's releasing now

It doesn't help we're STILL stuck int he cycle of 80s/90s nostalgia, as if they slowly becoming less relevant by the day, while everyone in charage ignores everything made after.

>>150959627
>>150961186
For better or for worse, it's but to us to show them the value of what they lost in some way, the corpos in charge sure as shit aren't going to do it. They're doing their damndest to make us forget the world and make sure we never own anything ever again.

>or being the styles of the past
>nostalgic or old-fashioned
I see you ignored those parts. If something wouldn't be made in that style today or if it is, it's a deliberate nod to a style of the past due to nostalgia, then it's retro. "Style" includes things like computer graphics and product design. Also I'm 37, Anon. It's time to accept that things you liked as a kid are now retro.
