DVD makers have been on to that for ages - so they make it so that movie
starts playing without you if no one clicks an option on main menu for more
than ten seconds. 

My DVD player has a reverse button. Works like a charm, and I usually
time it so that I don't even have to use it in most cases, or if I do,
its just one or two presses.


When all one needs to do is to spoil a workaround for one minor hassle, substituting another minor hassle is all one needs to do. Your workaround doesn't change the fact that you *have* to adjust your routine just to mitigate this needless garbage that DVD's stick in.

Besides, the fiendish imagination of DVD makers have no bounds. I wouldn't put it past them to start blocking navigation controls for the first ten minutes of a movie or make it so you have to enter a random passcode displayed at a random time during the previews before you can get to the main menu.

Geez 
Rent the movie from Netflix and have a grandchild burn a copy without the
trash that is so annoying.
They all know how to do it, even if we don't.
