Has anyone else noticed that you can't fast-forward during the ads at the start of the break (i.e. the studio ad, producer's ad, copyright warning, that sort of thing). That really pisses me off. But what's worse is that some entire films refuse to fast forward (Equilibrium springs to mind) using either the search bar of the ff button. Now, I can play the film forward at x4 speed, but it'd be much easier to use the search bar. Has anyone else experienced this, and can anyone think of a workaround?
 
Not experienced it, maybe you need the latest version of Power DvD?
Anyways, thanks for bringing this up. I have a problem of my own:
My dad wanted to watch some DvD, so he did :) When I went on Power DvD afterwards, the thingie which you control stuff with had disappeared. Ie, the thing which has the play button, the bar that lets you flick between certain parts of the film, just has all the controls on it.
Does anyone know how I can get this to re-appear? It still says it is there in the taskbar, but I can not find it :(
Any help would be appreciated...
 
Do you mean the menu bar at the top of the play window which appears when you move your mouse on top of it or the separate control box that has its own slot on the task bar and can be [ut behind or in front of the play window?

I had no problem fast forwarding Equilibrium............
 
This thing... (probably the seperate control box that ye speak of)
 
Try reopening the program or restarting your computer since it opens with the program? There doesn't seem to be anything in the options menu.
