    I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that would allow me to program one or multiple buttons for various lengths of time. I've looked around but can't seem to find one anywhere. Zoom player seems to give you the option, but it appears only in dvd mode. It would have to be compatible with mpegII files.

    Thanks so much for any suggestions

    mplayer.
    defaults are left/right +/- 10 frames
    up/down +/- 60 frames
    pg up/pg down +/- 600 frames

    You can easily change the default values or assign as many new keys as you like. It also tends to perform better than dshow based players and is far more flexible.

    Is that available for XP? I saw a linux app, but that doesn't help me.

    Notepad would do, although it might have unix line breaks, so I guess wordpad or ultra edit, etc. Basically any text editor.

    Page Up should skip more than 3 secs.
