Dear Jonathan,

May I make a suggestion?

If you purchased the DVD, return for a refund. Tell the clerk its
damaged, and
the FF function does not work in parts. (If they or you fill out a form,
write that
information down).

If it was rental, do the same. Especially if its from a bug chain like
Blockbuster
or Hollywood Entertainment.

One of the reasons many of us purchased DVD machines was for the direct
access --
the ability to go to any specific data point.

If enough people start returning DVDs (they are a nightmare for
retailers), they will
demand the appropriate changes be made to the discs; The same is true
for CDs.
