View Full Version : Do Any Media Players Do FF RW, & Chapters? spongebob 09-02-09, 09:25 AM I just got an Egreat M34 (PCH Clone). It's been nice to backup my HDDVD/BD collection but we miss the full functons of a real disc player. Do any current NMT's or similiar (Xtreamer, Ryan, Dune, etc) allow more control for FF RW, skip back, etc? thx bob kakihara1 09-02-09, 09:34 AM I just got an Egreat M34 (PCH Clone).

DavidT99 09-02-09, 10:44 AM PlayonHD does to, much better than on my EVA8000. The Playon will FF and REW at various speeds, will do instant replay and skip.

David Awesome, Will the non-c200 PCH's ever be able to with FW upgrade, etc? Also, does the c-200 or Playon do chapters or is that a function of how you do the backup? bob CJO 09-02-09, 10:59 AM I'm surprised that yours doesn't do fast forward and rewind. My HDX-1000 goes up to 8x on most titles. I haven't looked into it deep enough yet to figure out why it doesn't do it for all of the titles.

If you miss some dialog, too bad! bob kakihara1 09-02-09, 11:28 AM Awesome, Will the non-c200 PCH's ever be able to with FW upgrade, etc?

One of the trickplay features of the C200 is jumping by percentage. I don't know what the increments are but from the videos I've definitely seen 10%. So then at worst you'd essentially have 9 points to jump to.

So then at worst you'd essentially have 9 points to jump to. Current NMT's do this too. You can use the right and left buttons to quickly jump to a certain time in the movie. Using the numeric keys lets you jump to 0%, 10%, 20%,...90% of the movie. CJ spongebob 09-02-09, 11:52 AM Current NMT's do this too.

CJ Yeah, I see that but I'd really like to rewind like the FF does. Why is that a problem? bob spongebob 09-02-09, 11:56 AM It's a function of the backup, if you use AVCHD and insert chapter points every five minutes or whatever then you can use them.

I'm using Clown-BD, creating 1 .ts or 1 .m2ts file. thx bob lmaolmao 09-02-09, 12:11 PM Yeah, I see that but I'd really like to rewind like the FF does. Why is that a problem? bob even PC's struggle rewinding x264/h264 video. its the way the frames are stored, it's not particularly easy to play them in reverse. spongebob 09-02-09, 03:31 PM I just received an email from their tech support saying that it does have all these features (FF RW Chapter search). I'll wait for a real world review and hope that the Egreat can do it too. bob warunek 09-02-09, 06:35 PM I just received an email from their tech support saying that it does have all these features (FF RW Chapter search).

Good to know. First hand experience? thx bob warunek 09-03-09, 08:01 AM Good to know. First hand experience? thx bob Yes. No problems using it for 6 weeks. spongebob 09-03-09, 09:41 AM Found the "fix" for the Egreat: Push left button once, brings up time seek. Each additional button push adds 30 sec. jumps; holding scans through time seek. Right button does same for FF. Even better than FF/RW !!! bob CJO 09-03-09, 02:45 PM found the "fix" for the egreat: Push left button once, brings up time seek. Each additional button push adds 30 sec.
