I have version 2.01 installed on my Mac and I cannot seem to find the menu of "Custom Bookmarks" underneath "Playback". Where would I find this feature?Here's my method to overcome this issue:
When arriving to the point were you want to pause, click "Playback -> Custom Bookmarks -> Manage" in the top menu row
In the "Edit Bookmarks" window, press on "Create" and then on "Close".
Now, click on "Media" in the top menu row and then on "Save Playlist To File..."
In the "Save Playlist As..." window, choose a location and a name to your file and press "Save".
Now you can close the player and go to your business.
Whenever you want to continue from the spot you left, just open the playlist file with the player, go to "Playback -> Custom Bookmarks" in the top menu row and choose the spot from which you want to continue...
Hope I helped...
How would this be installed on the Mac version of VLC?I wrote a plugin that does exactly this. The one annoying thing with it is that you have to manually activate it from the menu every time you start VLC. I also couldn't login to the Extensions site for some reason so here's the link to my blog where it's posted:

If you activate this extension, it will start to remember filenames and actual time positions of played multimedia files in "pos.txt" file. If you play the remembered multimedia file next time, it will jump to remembered time position.... The one annoying thing with it is that you have to manually activate it from the menu every time you start VLC. ...
I would do it like most programs that have a media history. Say the last 8 (or more) items that you watch will all have their settings remembered and then cycle off the list when new stuff is added/watched that exceeds your max history. Each time you hit stop or exit VLC, the settings would get saved for this video. Maybe use an .ini file similar to the vlcrc file to store the history settings.In addition to remembering the file and position in the file, it should also remember all of the other pertinent settings that were changed whilst watching - like window size and position, volume, subtitle files, subtitle and audio delay settings, etc. - so you don't have to repeat them all again on restart. Not sure if all of these settings are in one easy to access spot or not, but should or could be made to be.
