Vista Tutorial - Is there any way to fast forward divx movies in Media Center

**taylormah** · 08-07-2008

I want to fast forward/rewind divx movies that I play from HDD in WMC (or WMP). Is there currently any plugin or way to get this result?

Here are the keyboard shortcuts for Vista WMC ~ Windows Vista Help: Windows Media Center keyboard shortcuts

It should be Ctrl+Shift+F...this doesn't work for me either, but I don't use WMC.

Using my remote it works just fine, indicating that there is definitely a way to do so....

let me fire one up in WMC and try it with my mouse and see....

OK, when playing a DivX in the lower rigt you see the controls - on either side of stop ther eis a |> and a >> - the >> does nothing, but the |> actually fast forwards (I know, contrary to logic).

Same for rewind.

I didn't even think to try the |>...thanks John

Just wondering why the keyboard shortcuts don't work as outlined on the MS website?
