Pausing Blu-rays

[AmishParadise]

Regarding resuming playback after pressing stop...
If any of the below User Operations (UO) are prohibited for a given playlist (MPLS) it will not be possible to resume playback after pressing, "Stop". This is the case for both HDMV and BD-J based Blu-ray's.

UO20: Forward Play
UO19: Backward Play
UO18: Resume
UO17: Move up selected button
UO16: Move down selected button
UO15: Move left selected button
UO14: Move right selected button
UO13: Select button
UO12: Activate button
UO11: Select and activate button

Other restrictions could prevent BD-J based Blu-ray's from resuming playback. I can't speak to that as I've only created HDMV based Blu-ray's myself. When doing so I'm always careful to not prohibit any of the above UO's if the given playlist is used to play a movie or TV episode for example.

BDedit is a free application which provides for viewing what UO's may be prohibited for a given playlist (MPLS). Just browse to the Blu-ray's "BDMV" folder using BDedit and go to the "PLAYLIST" tab. From the "PLAYLIST" tab each playlist (MPLS) can be selected. A long series of checkboxes towards the top of the application (AppInfoPlaylist) indicate which UO's are prohibited. If the given Blu-ray is being read off a hard drive one can change what UO's are prohibited if any, then saving the changes.
