Friday 28th Aug

Post by Allan Harmer »

Sorry about the delay on Friday's recap folks.

I forgot to reset my Sky Box after the break and I am using C4 On Demand which is really crappy with no rewind facility.

Then I almost got it done and then lost the recap when my m/c had to be rebooted so I have to start all over again - Grrrrr!

I'll try my best to get it done by tomorrow.

Cheers!

You do know that you can skip back and forward by dragging the time slider underneath the playback window? It's a little bit approximate if you only want to skip back a few seconds, but I found I got used to it after a while and can usually locate the exact bit I want to within a second or two. It's easier if you're viewing full screen, as the overall length of the time bar is greater and so it's easier to make fine adjustments.

Edit: actually, I've just remembered that in ordinary (i.e. non-full screen) mode, dragging the slider displays a little time marker showing you where you're skipping to, which is probably more useful for your purposes.

Thanks Phil - I couldn't find the time bar when I first started using it, so this is a great help. I will definitely be doing it this evening.

Cheers!
