OT: Best BluRay / DVD Player?

I have an old Samsung BluRay/DVD player that's a hunk of crap... slo-o-o-ow and can't remember where you were when last turned off.

Years ago I had a DVD-only Sony that not only knew where to resume it could remember discs that had been removed, another disc played, then original disc replaced and it would know where you last watched.

Do such features exist today?

Model recommendations? ...Jim Thompson

I have a samsung Blue-Ray player. And I have a boxed Blue-Ray set, the first half of the disks remember where I left off, but the second half don't. Possible a function of the disc itself. I never bothered to look it up, so I don't know the details.

Cheers

Why would they have excised them? Of course they do. Who wants to mess with discs anymore though?

Best bet? DL a file of the movie and send it from your PC to your TV and use VLC media player to play it. Picks up where it left off just fine.

Mo messy players... no messy disc collection.

Hundreds of movies on a single 256GB microchip.

You still use a straight razor or did you graduate yourself up to a multi-bladed disposable?

Doing some research... it appears that it is related to the _Java_ script on the disk itself :-( ...Jim Thompson

     It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
