Real Time Fast Forward & Reverse of Video

[dwhoward]

I thought I had read that you could not fast forward and reverse video in real time but could only click on the center button and then scroll forward and back and then the video would "jump" to that spot in the video.

Well, I tried holding down the fast forward button (next track button) and it does scroll the video in real time. It's pretty convenient for skipping through a commercial.

I just thought I'd let everyone know.

Yes, it's called "scrubbing." It lets you move in five-second intervals and operates similar to scrubbing through a song. You might have a brief pause as the iPod catches up before it resumes playing.

Personally, I prefer it over fast forwarding or rewinding.
