Question aoubt the actual DVD of the 30 day shred

hbrittingham

I purchased this DVD last week and just got a remote for my DVD player today. At the beginning of the DVD there is about 5-7 minutes of introduction and advertising before you actually get to select the workout. There is no way to skip these because I get a message that says "operation prohibited by disc". My question is, do I have to go through this wasted 5-7 minutes before I can get to the workout or did I get a defective disc? Thanks in advance for any replies or suggestions!

I have mine on the PlayStation. I can skip the Biggest Loser DVD ads at the start, but I can't skip Jillian's intro that pops up just before the menu.

Yep....you gotta sit through it....I can't stand that the DVD is set up that way. I would say turn it on and then go get ready to exercise. Do something else during those 5-7 minutes (get dressed, change shoes, get your HRM, whatever). Otherwise it will just annoy you and drive you crazy.

I usually shut the DVD player off while shes's talking at the end of the workout. When I turn the DVD player back on it thinks I'm resuming play so I can go back to the menu. It only works if I don't remove the dvd. If i take it out I'm screwed and have to listen to the beginning again.

I had to watch it the first time --- but it has skipped it ever since.

You have the 2-3 minutes where she goes over who to follow for modified, etc, but the big advertisement it skips for me after watching it the first time on whatever device (I think I had to watch again when I played it on my computer instead of my DVD in the hotel room....)

That's so frustrating. I planned on getting up at 5:30 a couple of mornings a week to work out since my evenings are either walking the dogs or going to the gym. I don't have the patience to wait that long that early in the morning.

Ohh rwuchic, I'll try that!

Thanks for the warning....just bought the DVD today and plan to start tomorrow.

Thanks all! I appreciate the responses and the ideas.

I always just pressed the MENU button on my remote and it took me to where I could pick which Level I wanted to do. Not sure if it was my DVD player that let me do that or what...but my DVD player is old and the remote I used was actually my Direct TV remote, with the slidy button at the top on one of the AV settings. It's worth a try...
