Serenity hdd will not restart correctly after hitting stop button

Played this movie on the Toshiba HD-A1 today and could not restart the movie when I hit the stop button. The player would not remember the stopping point and would always restart the movie from the beginning. Talked to a Toshiba HD rep and he said to hit the "resume play" button on the left side below the wheel on the remote but, to no avail. I tried a regular dvd and this problem did not happen. I could either hit the start button or the resume play button and the dvd would start at the last stopping point. The rep finally believed that the problem is on the movie and not the player. Can someone try this on their player and see if they get the same result?

Thanks,

Ian B

P.s. I am aware that if you hit the stop button multiple times, the movie will start from the beginning. This was not my case.

Apparently, the bookmarking feature is something that needs to be authored onto each HD-DVD disc, and Universal hasn't done it. I have the same issue.

I don't own Serenity, but I was watching Million Dollar Baby last night and noticed that when it's connected to my receiver, the audio is very distorted. Same goes for Last Samurai. If I just use the HDMI for audio, the movie sounds normal, but hooked up to surround sound, and it sounds completely wrong. I know Warner's launch titles have some audio issues. I guess this one is worse than the other 2.

Also, if I turn the receiver off and then on again, the problem is corrected. I would like to try out Serenity just to see how a HD-DVD is supposed to sound.

I wonder if David Lynch will request that the bookmarking be disabled on his films.
