NEW: Improved OSD
MrHaugen:
I don't see the reason to pause a video and fill the screen with a menu when you can do the same with pause and a smaller OSD. Personally I see nothing but disadvantages with this, but that might be just me.

MrH - I don't disagree and that is what the MC OSD gives now for all Video types (DVD, BD, and Files). I'm banging on about adding a consistent UI experience for my family like we have now for DVD's but not for BD or Video Files when you press the Menu button, it is just a matter of preference then which style of control you prefer. For my Family it is the DVD not the MC style UI and each to their own.
MrHaugen:
I can see that. For some it would be logical. It's just that DVD and physical BluRay is such a rarity for me, that it goes the other way. With the amount of downloading and streaming and less physical medias every day, I do think that most people can deal with non full screen menus. It's a thing that's slowly fading away. I would go as far as asking for a way to just use the current OSD for DVD menu options as well :D But that is just me.
jmone:
You can use the current OSD for DVD (I think but I've only got a couple). FYI, I have hundreds of BD and buy them all the time... and only a few downloads so I must be "old fashioned" but if you want top quality there is little choice. Who wants a crap 1GB rip? But again, each to their own.

3 ) Require enter to go into a submenu choice like 'Subtitles'.

I think having to hit enter to select some things but not all is counter-intuitive. I guess it is ok as long as you "can" select enter to select things instead of up and down.
Also your point about adding some instruction texts really illustrates a fault in the design. In a regular menu system you never see instructions - they are not needed. If you have to resort to that, there are bigger issues.
