Hi

I have been using VLC media player for a while and found it has 
advantages over other software as it can be played back at twice normal 
speed while still being able to understand what is being spoken. 
However, I have some suggestions on what features could be added if they 
are not already part of the software.

It would be good to be able to step back or forward a certain number of 
seconds. Currently, the only way I know how to do this is to click on 
the scroll bar. This steps back or forward but often it is too far and I 
have to listen to a lot of things again in order to replay the last bit 
that I missed. It would be good to have a button or a keystroke to step 
back perhaps about 10 seconds. If the button or keystroke is pressed 
twice it could be back 20 seconds. Each time it is pressed it could go 
back an extra 10 seconds. Another button could be used to step forward a 
certain number of seconds. Are these features available or could you 
possibly include them in the next version?

Also, I have recorded  files in ".ts" format using Media Portal. 
However, when I play back with VLC, the clock counter does not seem to 
work. It always reads 00:00/00:00. Do you know why this is and what I 
could do to get the clock counter to work?

Is there anyone else I could share this letter with?

Your help is appreciated
Regards Richard
