Hi I was just wondering if anyone know how to acess the special features on a DVD, it doesn't show it on the main menu but in the case it says "Access (Insert name) special feature by pressing the menu on your DVD player's remote control".

I tred that several times in different area's of the movie but it swaps from the main menu to the movie all the time, I even tryed searching for hidden buttons through the CD's and there's nothing, does that mean that the CD hasn't got special feature's even though it says it has on the inside cover, or am I missing something?

Which disk and which special feature are you talking about? Commentary tracks are usually accessed from the "audio" sub-menu of the main menu. Can you give more specific information regarding what you are looking for?

many times the only "special features" are only trailers or such things.

Your remote has arrow buttons that let you highlight different options on the menu. You must use your finger and press one of the arrow buttons to highlight the "features" menu in order to access the extras.

...d'uh...!...

Easy now . . . new guy . . . just joined today . . . play nice.

The mainstreaming (hamstringing) of DVD continues. Coming soon: "Includes Full Screen (NO MORE BLACK BARS!) and No Special Features (AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT ASSOCIATED WITH KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE YOU JUST BOUGHT!)"

They can call it a Special "The Guy At Best Buy Told Me I Couldn't Live Without a DVD Player" Edition

Did you not like the answers you were getting in this identicle thread?

He started that thread six hours after this one.

Maybe he didn't like the answers he was getting in this thread.

What DVD is it? Someone here can tell you if it has special features.

If it's every DVD, then sadly, Robert's post is probably your answer.

Right. How dare some J6P come in here seeking information on how to get more out of his DVDs than just the flick. Glad you were able to put a stop to that. We wouldn't want those J6Ps to actually learn how to access special features would we.

Sorry but I don't believe the guy when he claims he can't use his MENU button or locate the Special Features menu. This is a troll thread.

If it's not I'm horrified.

Agreed. No one can be this inept when it comes to dvd.

You never know he may be legit,and unless you know for sure it is some kind of joke, it is better to play it safe and be nice,after all we do want new members dont we?

So if it's a troll thread, then wouldn't the best way to handle it be to answer it calmly and susinctly rather than go crazy? I thought the whole point of a troll thread was to get people upset . . . if that's what it is, you just gave him what he wanted.

Sorry for the long wait, I was away for a few days, I seen it on the inside of the case of Inspector Gadget 2 movie, it siad you can access the special features by pressing the menu button, it doesn't have special features in the main menu options though.

Yay, now I know what a popsicle is called when you split it in two.

well, since this is a disney movie, maybe the features are on a different menu that means features but doesn't say so.

I've been thought it and it still hasn't got it anywhere, I jsut got Pokemon 4 Ever and it has the same thing on that one, also done by disney, they make stupid menu's I recon

Here's DVD Talk's review of the Inspector Gadget 2 DVD.

Scroll down the review to Extras. Those are the Special Features. Chances are the menu doesn't refer to them by that name. You should be able to access them from the submenus, though the features will be spread out over several submenus.

You're not really giving us enough information to help you, but it sounds as though you're just pressing the menu key, then enter/play and alternating between the movie and main menu. As Robert noted above (the third post after yours), at the main menu, you have to use the arrow keys (those triangles that point up, down, left and right) to highlight a section of the main menu, then press enter (which is usually the play button, but might be different on your remote). You'll then be taken to a submenu, where you repeat the process (highlight and enter) to access the feature you want. I'm afraid you may have taken the package's instructions too literally when it said you can access the features by using the menu buttion.

...d'uh... (again)
