Biggest Blu-ray annoyances?

[samdvd1]

As per title really.

Eco cases. Really annoying, occasionally resulting in some creases and minor damage to the sleeves.

The way imports (usually US/Canada) have the worst type of shrinkwrapping process possible where the wrap is literally stuck to the spine. Ugh.

Universal's menu screens.

Unskippable start-up trailers.

and a bonus for cinemas as it is annoying me - why Carlisle Vue cinema seems to put initial screenings in the two tiny screens every freaking week.

[BudBaxter]

Ludicrously small menu text. Fine if you've got a 100" TV. Not so good for the rest of us.

& Disney's brief experiment of putting silly little symbols instead of text in their menus. Even the extras on Into The Woods only have meaningless pictures instead of titles. It's a lucky dip as to what you're going to be watching...

All start up trailers..

Legal text or anything else that increases the time til the menu is ready
Unskippable post credits nonsense in multiple languages
Spoilers in the menus

[franzsanchez]

Adverts on retail dvds is a particular annoyance

[mr nostromo]

After all the publicity regarding increased disc capacity over DVD, most Blu rays have no more extra content than the DVD equivalent.
It may be fact, but if it's not utilised it's irrelevant to a degree.

[Pieter V]

Skipping and hanging Blu-rays.

[OgamiittoMcJ]

unskippable start up ads and trailers
no resume playback on some discs
no a-b repeat on some discs
no zoom feature
not able to change audio or subs on some, without going to menu

[Ste7en]

Universal screensaver. What? You have to press up on your remote to remove it? Ah... okay... how the hell did people find that out?

The adhesive snots on steelbook J cards.

Lack of pop-up menus.

Lack of resume play.

Stupidly low limited edition print runs.

I can see why that would be a good feature with some of the titles in your collection

Yeah, that Mars Bar advert that seemed to be on every StudioCanal release circa 2010 - 2013 really gets on my nerves.

I'll also second the lack of "resume movie" option on many (most?) blu-rays.

I like start up trailers.

Reminds me of the year certain films were released/films I'd forgotten about etc. An inconvenience I can put up with.

[Billz]

When bonus features aren't ported over from a DVD release.
When it's been DNR'd to death.
When the wrong cut of a film is put on a disc but the studio lied about it (*COUGH*The Avengers*COUGH*).

[Ste7en]

When Easter eggs are listed as extras.

The condition they arrive in from Amazon, Zavvi etc. Packaging is getting worse.

[Sky_Captain]

All of the major studios through their crippling of the format from laziness/cheapness/both.

[WilsonBros]

To quote the great Carey Mahoney: "Icky blue uniforms".

There is too little colour variation with cases in the UK.

[StephenFS]

My chief annoyances are menus which are a bit too fancy or which make it difficult to see what you've highlighted, or how to move to the option you want. Keep it simple and intuitive, guys!

[Sifox211]

Like many, forced trailers, no resume, pointless legal disclaimers; but I think Universal's awful menus really take the biscuit. Especially the ones with annoying, loud clicking.

Regarding no resume, at least Universal have a bookmark feature, but its use is so amazingly well hidden/obscure I'm amazed anyone could find it!

Along with all the stuff you guys mentioned, my biggest peeve is the case design themselves. I think I would have preferred something different and not as tall (they only really need to be a bit taller than a BD).

I would have loved something the size of a Nintendo Ds case, more uniformity and something to indicate genre on the spine.

I think the main reason for the format of the cases is to fit the artwork which mostly was made for cinematic posters.

And this on the spine mostly indicates genre in my collection.
