RE: Jump usually works for me.

Often when DVDs are inserted into the player, ads and/or previews are shown before segueing to the interactive menu main page. Once you're at the main page, you can use the various buttons on the remote to access other menus. However, it seems that a DVD can be "programmed" to disallow the functionality of the remote during the ads or previews to ensure that you watch them. Most of the time, there are only a few of these. With the "Inception" DVD I got from Netflix, these previews and ads for video games lasted over 10 minutes. That is an awful lot to ask someone to be forced to sit through. NONE of the buttons are functional during this time, whether it be fast forward or reverse, chapter jump, menu or sub-menu.
