I think it would be a good idea to include an 'Episode Selection' on the features for tv series or other dvds that have several short films instead of a feature length film (like the 3 Stooges short film).

There are many of these type of dvds that allow you to select which episode to watch from the menu. But very few allow you to select individual scenes from the menu within an episode.

Right now for these you can't have the 'Scene Selection' box checked since there isn't a menu to select a scene out of an episode. So on some profiles the features are completely blank, which is misleading since there is indeed an option to select specific episodes to watch.

Again, these would only be for dvds for tv series, short films (like the 3 stooges), music video compilations, etc.

I understand what you are saying... but I personally see no sense in it. It would end up being checked for almost every TV release out there... I don't remember ever seeing a release that didn't offer episode selection. So why add something that would have to be (almost?) always checked? in that case it just not telling us enough to be worth it... in my opinion at least.

I'd favor more the other way around. For me, not episode selection is a feature (I simply expect that), for me "Play All" is a feature.

Now that... That I definitely agree with! There is so many releases that don't bother with a Play All option... which is aggravating to say the least.

I'd also agree more to the Play All option.
