Eject DVDs with Keyspan Digital Media Remote
Authored by: EclecticMunk on Mar 03, '05 09:27:37AM

I have never understood eject buttons on remotes. I mean once you have ejected the DVD, you still have to get up off the couch to take it out of the machine or insert another one, so why not just push the eject button on the machine while you are up?

An Eject Button Makes Sense
Authored by: genericuser on Mar 03, '05 03:24:24PM

Here is why an eject button on a remote makes sense: you can start the process of ejecting the DVD while you are on your way from the couch to the DVD player. That way, once you arrive at the DVD player, the disc is already ejected & sitting there waiting for you to put it away. It saves a little time and saves fumbling around in the dark (if you watch your movies with the lights low) looking for the eject button on the player itself. Neither of these are life-saving reasons for an eject button on the remote, rather they are simple conveniences.

Eject DVDs with Keyspan Digital Media Remote
Authored by: sam_head on Mar 03, '05 07:48:50PM

The room is darkened, my keyboard is tucked away, the couch is pulled out and the computer is in the closet on the other side of the room.

Push the eject button on the remote. Mac OS takes a little time to stop DVD Player and eject the DVD. I can either get up off the couch, go to the closet and get the DVD or just leave it. Either way I have quit DVD Player.

That is why this tip is so useful... to lazy old me.
