Here's a Perl script I cobbled together for MPlayer. It requires you to set up your .lircrc with a keybinding for mplayer's "edl_mark" command. When watching a movie, it will check for the presence of an EDL (Edit Decision List) file for that movie, and skip to the latest timecode specified in the file. IIRC, it removes the EDL file upon playback, so next time you start it (if you haven't set another bookmark) it will start from the beginning. NB- This script also does funky stuff for auto-enabling subtitles, aspect and aspect ratio detection (I like to move widescreen movies to the top of my 4:3 screen and display subtitles in the giant black bar at the bottom). YMMV. -JAC
