How does the xbox 360 do this.

[cheets64]

If I play a dvd then stop it and turn the 360 off and then play about 3+ games and put the same dvd back in after a day it goes back to the point i stopped the dvd at.

Its sweet.

HDD I guess, but yeah it's aaaaaaaaawesome.

Its just DVD bookmarks, think it was included in one of the 360 updates.

A lot of DVD players have this feature IIRC, I know our standalone downstairs has.

 

[dustiestrat]

yeah noticed this the other day really cool .

 

[lordrobs]

I didn't think there was a DVD player made that didn't do this

I was gonna say, every DVD player I've had has done this. Can't say it's a feature I actually use much though.

Same.

I use it for series so I can choose play all and then go back to where I was without being forced to watch the crap they seem to love sticking in DVDs before the movie/feature.

The DVD player I bought mid '99 managed it though you had to press a button to tell it where to store.

Yeah, its a nice feature can save you a lot of hassle

I have an old DVD player - it remembers where you were if you just switch it off when playing a DVD, but if you open the tray at all it loses its place

 

[blueshift]

[cheets64]

Well its the first I have owned thats done it, the xbox never did it or did it?

Just about every DVD player I've owned has done this, it will resume the playback where you left off ONLY if you didn't eject the tray.

However maybe the 360 wont resume either if you change to a different DVD (not a game) and then go back to the one you were watching

You should be able to eject fine, its when you change to another disc with something different on, or power off that it loses the bookmark. That's my experience of the 360 and other DVD players anyway.

I saw that the HD-DVD had some newer bookmark features. Not sure what they were though, looked to just be QVC style waffle to make something ordinary sound impressive.
