Because I didn't pick this up when it first came out a few years back, I was stuck with getting Disney's repackaged version of this title (dubbed the "Ultimate Collector's Edition" as compared to Fox's original "40th Anniversary"), which looks like this:
I seem to be having an issue with the disc's "resume playback" authoring, or what I assume to be an authoring problem, wherein the disc won't remember where it left off from the last position, even though there IS a prompt baked into it to do so. In other words, when I press stop after watching it and go back the next day to resume playback, I get the prompt that says "Resume: Yes/No," but it doesn't actually play back from the last position, instead either going back to the "Warning" startup menus or going directly to the setup menu itself. It's the WEIRDEST thing, and what's even stranger is that it sometimes doesn't let me select Yes/No, instead choosing for itself.
When I first got the disc, I could SWEAR that I was able to resume from the last stopped position -- but as I watched it a few times, it began doing this thing where it wouldn't let me resume, or it resumes in a place I DIDN'T leave off.
Can anyone who owns this in 4K confirm if their disc behaves like this, as well, or not? I am unsure if the 40th Anniversary edition would be any different in this regard; from what I understand, these are the same discs but packaged differently in Disney's "Ultimate Collector's Edition" variant.
Has anyone experienced any such quirks with Alien in 4K? Just want to be sure it's not my Panasonic UHD BD player...
