What is up with Despicable Me? - Blu-ray Forum

monty123 · 12-24-2010, 05:03 PM

I have been waiting for it to load for over 20 minutes. MY KIDS ARE GETTING READY TO BURN ME AT THE STAKE!

But thanks universal, for the holiday message, I am pretty sure that is new today and is what is causing the delay.

It's either a bad disc or your firmware isn't up to date.

Beta Man · 12-24-2010, 05:09 PM

Disable the internet connectivity on your player, and try again.

Or tell them it's a Christmas present, so it won't work until tomorrow

Arkadin · 12-24-2010, 05:10 PM

sometimes you can speed up loading by either turning off the internet connection/bd live feature before inserting the disc
and/or inserting an sd memory card in the slot if your player has a place for one.

monty123 · 12-24-2010, 05:48 PM

Thanks. In fact I tried all that you suggested, with nothing to show for it. It just needed to be left alone before it began, and then it started up.

As for a cChristmas present, that I dea went out the window when they have watched it 10 times since last week.

Thanks to all, and happy holidays.

shouldn't he just disconnect BD-Live?
i don't know if Despicable Me has BD-Live, but for Zack and Miri Make A Porno, to get it to play you have to disconnect BD-Live and i accidentally disconnected the internet entirely and it caused problems keeping me logged in on my ps3 ever since then until i eventually had to reformat my entire ps3 and lost all my data and i don't want the same thing to happen to the OP.

nothing worse than losing everything and waiting 6 hours for it to reformat

The long load times of some Blu-rays DRIVE ME CRAZY! Absolutely ridiculous that it can take so long to load a movie. And then there are frequently the forced trailers. idiots!

It's enough to make a guy want to rip every Blu-ray to a hard drive, pull out just the movie file, and play it with a file player utility.

The newer players are faster so if you have an old one maybe its time for a new one.

BTW ~ Discussion of ripping Blu-rays is a NO_NO

dolphinc · 12-24-2010, 06:11 PM

Thats why I spent $500 for my Oppo BD-83. Loads everything fast and plays flawlessly. It will also be around forever, huh? What, it's been discountinued? Well the BD-93 will be around forever, no? Maybe the BD-95?

Chiyo_chichi · 12-24-2010, 06:17 PM

I use the ps3 (slim 120gig) and aside from the few times I've used BD-Live, I don't think I've ever waited more than 15 seconds for a movie to load.

I see you don't have the Skynet Edition of Terminator 2. If you did, you'd feel the grip of slow loading. That title is painfully slow to load on any player with an internet connection, new or (especially) old. Especially the first time it's loaded.

Nooooo. Can you imagine the wrath he would have to face tomorrow?

SeanMF · 12-24-2010, 06:53 PM

First of all...are you using the samsung 3600 or the ps3? 2nd....have you updated the firmware on all of them? The ps3 should play it with no issues...the 3600 however is a different matter. The first 3 generations of samsung bdps weren't worthwhile at all. Not sure how they are now but I won't be buying another samsung bdp because of the earlier ones.

I think I'm finally going to snag an Oppo. Might as well go with the 93 though. I'm waiting for Amazon to start having it in stock. I heard it may take a while though.

No more movie files for you.

I do love my Oppo and have yet to see a Blu that it doesn't load and play without issue.

It's a Universal title...

You should automatically expect up to 10 minutes of delay right when spinning the movie. They do these terrible ads and such in order to remove the viewer from the film, so that when they're done the person doesn't want to watch the film they paid a hefty penny for. It's called "counterproductive" or "incredibly annoying marketing". Universal prides itself on being the worst about it.

Am I just missing something or did anyone else not get a Digital Copy of Despicable Me in their purchase from Best Buy that is supposed to include a Digital Copy. It does not appear to be on any of the 3 discs. Not a big deal but I put in both DVDs and there is no prompt for transferring. Hmmm...may have to take back to Best Buy.
