How to skip the trailers at the beginning of a DVD

A friend’s child recently watched me fighting with FBI & Interpol warning screens, distributor logos, and trailers while trying to play a DVD when she asked me why I didn’t Press Stop-Stop-Play I looked at them funny (as I’m prone to do), tried it and now I use it every time. It will start playing the main feature without all the junk they packed in before it. Depending on the player, you may want to wait a second between presses. One player I have says “Pre-Stop” on the first Stop, “Stop” on the second Stop, then “Seq. Play” on the Play. Don’t know if this always works, but it works on almost every DVD I’ve tried.
