Nice Avatar Blue Ray feature

I have had my Oppo BD-83 for a year now, and love the BR experience, except for one item. Some Blue Rays will not resume play from where it was stopped, turned off, or removed. Every DVD has this ability, assuming your player supports this feature, to resume play from the last time played. Whoever, managed to muck this up in BR should be fired and banned from the industry.
Anyway, last night I put Avatar in the player, and it resumed from where it had been stopped. The interesting thing about this it that it has been a few weeks since I last looked at Avatar, and I have played beaucoup Netflix DVDs, and my own DVDs (BR and DVD) since that time.
My previous Sony DVD player could remember the resume point for up to 40 DVDs, but the Oppo BD-83 is only good for some tiny amount. Plus, there has been more than once where I have removed a DVD, played another (usually BR) DVD, gone back to the previous regular DVD, and the player has started from the beginning instead of from where it was previously stopped.
So, how Avatar was able to resume play after all those other DVDs is a nice feature, and I hope other BRs start supporting it. Maybe this is one of features in the Oppo firmware upgrade I had to do in order to play Avatar. Actually, I first needed the firmware to play John Woos international version of Red Cliff, but I understand the same firmware is needed to play Avatar.

Dude,I thought I was crazy.My Oppo did the same thing with the Avatar disc as well.Something embedded??? It also does that to some of my cd's as well.I
don't think you would call it a bug.You or myself could go to audioholics and dig for a thread.I know avs123 had a monster thread on some Oppo stuff... -
I have the same Blu-Ray player and it does this for a lot of my movies. I think there is 1GB of internal memory on the BDP-83....if memory serves.
Pretty sure its a disc feature, though, and not a function of the player itself. -
I am talking about some pretty old cd's but that not mean anything.How much has changed in the mfg. of cd's???
