14 minutes!? Back when I bought VHS, the threshold seemed to be 9 minutes. That is horrible.

I really don't mind if a company wants to put ads in front of DVDs that rental stores like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video get, but if I go to Best Buy and fork over my $15-$20 to add the movie to my personal library, I would at least like to watch it without having to suffer through those advertisements. Is that so much to ask?
