Hmmmm,
Well Requiem for a Dream starts out with a fake infomercial - it's
part of the plot.
It's odd that you can't skip to the next chapter though - is this what
is occurring? Also - I know some DVDs do not have a "Play" function
per say but you just play it from the first chapter.
Some older DVDs have that and Requiem for a Dream was coming out right
when the first DVDs were hitting the shelves.
Best of luck!

Hi, all,
We had a patron return this DVD in with a note that it wouldn't
work. Well, I put it in the player, and it starts with something
that looks like a fake informercial, and won't let you skip the
section. I thought at first that someone had figured out a way to
record from the television on it, especially when the phone number
started with 900. When I finally was able to skip to a section, the
main menu did not list Play for the movie, but had a listing that
looked like a set of extras. Has anyone had this come up on this
title?
