Any half decent player had an auto reverse mechanism, so at worst you got a 2-3 sec pause in the movie between two scenes. Most movies fit on one disc since one side was 60 minutes.

The only time you had to remove the disc was if you were watching a 2+ hour long movie, or a CAV special edition (which were fucking awesome).
