I want to be able to fast forward through ALL the junk that plays before the movie comes up.
Right now, only the trailers will FF, but not the real nags - FBI warning, copyright advisory, etc. The option to FF through that waste is disabled.
It's a budget DVD/VCR player - Insignia model Is-dvd040924a

The player is not the problem and as far as I know there are no hacks to sort it
The "problem" is the way the disk is put together and the author(s) deciding that some bits are skippable and others not.
The only solution I can think of is to rip the disk (using dvdfab hd decrypter or similar) and then create a new DVD from the unprotected rip (using DVD Shrink or whatever as appropriate).
Pain in the butt I know but, unless brains far superior to mine know better, I think it's the only solution. -

I think that's how it works, but I'm not totally sure. Anyway, I want NO executables read. The player is under MY control, not the disc's control... -
I agree the player is under your control but it is only going to do things the disk says it can do. So if the author of the disk says you can't FF through this bit then the player won't do it!
As I understand it that's what you are stuck with. It's all done by setting flags but don't ask me where they reside.
I suspect it's all tied up in the licensing which allows them to put the DVD logo on the player -

You're talking about PUOs, (prohibited user operations), and the ONLY way around them is to re-author the disc. Players are required to observe PUOs in order to be licensed. Get a HTPC if you want to avoid such problems, or learn to write your own player firmware.

The good news - cwb is right. This IS possible.
The bad news - It requires hacked firmware. NOBODY makes hacked firmware for any players these days. NOBODY. (Well, I've heard of exactly 2 in recent years.)
Back 5 years ago, some of the Chinese made DVD players like Apex and Shinco had firmwares that were hacked and additional functionality was added, such as the ability to play DVD format on CD-R disc (miniDVD). I have an old Apex player that I no longer use, but I put hacked firmware on it to do this. Another feature it had was that it would ignore PUOs, so I could skip through the FBI warnings and such. So to do this requires a firmware hack and none of the 2 firmwares that I know of in recent years that were hacked were hacked to support this, so I don't know of any player made in recent years that allows this. -

They are usually 2 separate & diff. issues.
