Paramount Stop Delay?

[geomtchr]

Has anyone noticed that there is a delay of 5 - 10 seconds after pressing stop for the movie to actually stop with Paramount titles? I've noticed it with Red October, Patriot Games, and Sum of All Fears. I use a Panny DMP-BD30K

Only noticed a slight delay with TopGun.... 3 seconds, not much more.

I've noticed it with Top Gun, used in a PS3.

Also noticed a delay of like 10+ seconds to eject Top Gun while playing on my Panny -30 player.

I don't have a ton of paramount titles, but I've yet to see any kind of delay on any of them with a PS3. I don't have Top Gun however.

I think it might be because of them using Java... At least I think all their titles use Java now...

That's what I was thinking, because I have a BD30 and I got a pause like that on Shine A Light.

I noticed it using my sharp player and the jack ryan titles. After stop and/or eject, a few seconds are needed before stopping (or ejecting) the disc.

yes specially on top gun.

Looks like it could be to the high bitrate they are using. PQ on all paramount movies is just incredible.

Paramount can delay BD releases at their own disposal but this shouldn't apply to Transformers, Iron Man and Godfather.

I noticed that Java was used on Sony's "Walk Hard" to "remember" where a movie was stopped, so you could resume at this point later when re-inserting the disc. I wonder if Paramount's new titles do this - this could explain the delay.

No. The Warner ones don't just BDJ, so players can "naturally" resume where left off, just like most DVD players can do so with DVDs and have been able to do so for considerable time. This is because the player only has to store a few variables in it's internal storage to resume - basically the various language options and the current playing head position. With BDJ the whole of the virtual machine's code including each variable's state would have to be dumped to storage.

Try stopping and resuming a Fox release like Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer which uses BDJ and you won't be able to, even on a PS3, because the BDJ application is an extra level that stops the player directly addressing the disc, and no facility for resume play or "status dumping" has been incorporated.

Superbad (if its like Walk Hard, both by Sony) will actively ask you if you want to resume or not when next played, and it is part of the BDJ wrap-around application/virtual machine. A process is invoked on stop/eject which automatically bookmarks the position unprompted.

Early Paramount titles (before they briefly went HD DVD exclusive) didn't use BDJ, so could be resumed "naturally". I've only got Cloverfield since Paramount's return, but judging by the features on it, I'm assuming it's Java based, so probably all new Paramount titles are. I've not actually done much with Cloverfield other than a brief click around in one short session exploring the disc, so I can't say if the resume handling is present or not.

Next time why don't you try reading the thread before you post. That will save you from looking like a @ss.
