I've experienced some problems skipping movies during pause. The entire applications seems to hang and I've had to kill the process a couple of times. With a few small .avi videos I've had better luck than with DVD, so I'm kind of wondering if anyone else has tried this? (First hit space to pause and then an arrow key to skip forward or backward).

Even if this works like it should for everyone else, I think it's a shame that the text (+15 secs or whatever) is superimposed on the "Pause" button text.

It would be really neat if this could be fixed, e.g. when the phone rings and the pause button isn't hit immediately it would be great to be able to skip back 15 seconds while paused so the movie can be resumed when the phone call is over, without missing anything at all.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem but I use MP for mainly watching video files.

Now if I hit pause during a movie and leave it for an hour or more and then come back and hit pause to continue watching then MP seems to hang.

I can hear the movie continuing in the background but the "pause" bar at the bottom is still there and the application hangs and I have to ctrl-alt-del to get back to windows.

Any ideas?
