DVD is the only format that should exist

So what if you have to search around for the last scene you watched? Life is hard.
Wrong Marmadukebagelhole, it should never be hard when it comes to movie watching. Get your head out of the gutter, man.

Honestly, DVD has plenty of problems as a format. DVD is full of region locking, annoying packaging, full screen and wide screen versions to confuse the consumer, etc
There is yet to be a format that lacks a major problem. Honestly, the only thing DVD has over Blu-ray is price.
In addition, I find VHS still highly watchable and I love that you can stop it anywhere and skip through everything at the beginning.
In all honesty, I really want to start collecting Laserdisc. It seems like such an awesome format to me.

Laserdisc would have been cooler if they hadn't used composite video. And if the laminated disc's weren't susceptible to "laser rot".

I find that Blu rays are more likely to let you skip the warnings, trailers etc than DVDs are. In fact DVDs are a major paing for being unable to skip this stuff then when it's done, there's a language select screen before the main menu! So if I leave the room while all the preview stuff is playing I've still got to go through more warnings after selecting my language.

lack of picking up where you left off is annoying
Then just skip to the chapter you want when the disc restarts,
that's what the fhucking menu is for!
Honestly, don't be such a lazy bastard!

Why would any Blu-ray players be made that can't resume where you left off?

Perhaps they are assuming most people want to watch a film right through with no pauses. I had a portable dvd player once which had a 10 inch screen and it was good for watching films at close range but the sound was low, also it's battery only lasted 2 hours but it could work on the mains. I also had a proper dvd player that connected to my television but I could never get dvd's to play in it. It was too technical for me. In any case I would have thought that a hard drive would be better than dvds for playing films on.
