I watched my latest purchaces on BD the other day. It was Lady in the Water, and it had no main menu. I have a few other titles with this as well. I just dont remember what they are right now and cant check cause im at work. I watch them on a 60 gig PS3. Is this a playback problem or do they actually not have a main menu?

This is okay if movies start with the best audio tracks, unfortunately I have seen many that don't.

Warner's first generation DVDs also defaulted to auto-starting the move but they eventually changed the practice. Hopefully they'll change to either starting with the main menu or making the HD audio track the default. |

I looooooooove the way certain Warner movies have no title menu. I wish all Blu-ray movies just started right on into the movie. It does not even bother me to have to go into the menu and change the audio to lossless. If they defaulted to the highest bitrate audio and started up on its own, it would make me a happy camper indeed.
My reasons: It is more like a movie theater; it is more immersive than getting an artificial menu; sometimes the menus have major spoilers which are a big problem if it is the inital viewing; it takes no time to get into the movie (no load times, previews, or commercials), etc., etc. |

Making the HD track the default should only happen on TrueHD titles IMO. It reduces confusion for the non-techie types why they're not getting 5.1
You think getting people to set their TV size correctly was hard? As we see again and again by people asking about settings, there's another 95% that just plugs it in and goes |

Except the projectionist doesn't have to rewind the film after the first few seconds.
![]() I wouldn't mind the auto-start if it weren't for the audio selection issue. It takes my receiver a few seconds to engage after an audio track is selected after which I have to restart the movie. And yes I'm one of the geeks who listens to the prologue music to 2001 all the way through. ![]() |

They should throw a screen up at the beginning that says "The movie will start automatically. Please press menu to view other options". Freeze for 10 sec and start the movie.
Best of both worlds. Personally, I hate all of the silly animation on the menus. It wastes time that I could spend watching the movie rather than some stupid fanboy menu animation. |

Personally, I don't really like the way Warner has built their menus. Too much small text when there are a lot of features (Potter:OOTP, 300) and very static. It reminds me a bit when they first came out with DVD a decade ago.
As for the autmatic start: I don't mind it. Besides, Warner has been doing it with standard DVD titles for years. |

Forcing people to watch advertisements and trailers is really annoying especially after they have paid for the content that they want to watch. The best way from the user perspective is to place adverts and trailers as a separate menu item and movie-only as another item. However, it is unlikely that this would happen.
