So I popped in my 21st Collection today and what to my wondering eyes did appear? A new menu screen! And my FAVORITE one so far! It's the one with the menu that's overlooking the cliff, Widows Hill maybe?, and the waves are crashing up against the rocks. The music is the Angelique spell music that plays during her spells when she's working her mojo.
That is my favorite one because it's classy and I love to look at it. It's LOADS better than the mausoleum menu screen, which is my least favorite. And the first menu screen with the backdrop of Collinwood and the changing Barnabas faces is right there in the middle.
That reminds me, I am new to DVD's, having always used videos, but I was surprised that I couldn't fast forward to the menu.
And as requested, here's a screen capture of the cliff menu
That's actually a feature of the player you're watching on more than it is the DVD itself. Most if not all DVD players and Windows DVD playing software won't allow you to fast forward/skip right to the menu. ::) However, Linux software will. Yet another advantage to using Linux. [b003]
I like all 3 equally, but for different reasons. The first one is just too cool for school, BUT it takes too long to get to the episode list. The second one isn't as nice aestetically (sp?) as the first one, but it gets you to the ep list QUICK and I like that! The third has the best music, hands down. ;)
This is Off-Topic as far as DS is concerned, but since the workings of DVDs are being discussed - I might as well try asking it. If I'm watching a movie and stop it, when I come back, if I press "play," it will sometimes start from where I left off and other times it goes back to the beginning. As far as I can tell, I do the same things each time, but I have no idea how to make sure it picks up from where I left off.

I suggest you try the "pause" button instead of "stop". My machine works like this: if I use pause and walk away for a length of time, the machine will turn on a screen saver first and then shut off altogether. All I have to do is use the "play" button again and it turns the machine on and starts the DVD where I paused it.
I'm still puzzled by why it sometimes works the one way and at other times, the other way. If it's supposed to go back to 0, all right, but then why does it sometimes stay put?!!!
