OK - how do I fast forward through the warnings, etc that are so easy to do via VHS?


Do what I do, put the DVD in the player, start playing it, then walk away to get your snack, take a dump, whatever, for a few minutes or switch the channel to something else. Those forced previews and FBI warnings are an annoyance, but it really is no big deal to avoid sitting through them, esp. if your TV has a remote control. 

That's what we do.
The industry took advantage of the FBI excuse to insert all manner of
promos and advertising, but we're not forced to watch them.
