I thought movies could leave off that the same place you left...

...so why didn't a movie I quit watching, took it out, then put it back in do that?

EDIT: I'm obviously talking about my PS3.

Wait....what?

A movie I quit watching started over. WTF?!

DVDs will resume where you left off, but not all Blu-rays will do this. It depends on how the Blu-ray disc was authored.

Blu-rays that are written with BD-Java will show a loading icon before the main movie plays. Those discs tend to start playback from the beginning of the movie each time.

While Disney discs are also authored in BD-Java, the latest ones (Up, Toy Story) have also been programmed to ask you if you want to resume where you left off (after you choose the play option). So the ability to have a resume function depends on the Blu-ray disc publisher and not the player.
