Why do people always want this junk? It's annoying and gets in the way
of the movie. If I want to watch a DVD, I want to WATCH the DVD, not
play around with silly animations and intro screens I have to wade
past before I get started. Just plain playing the movie without any of
that nonsense is a FEATURE of mplayer, not a bug/limitation, IMHO. :)
