I agree with you as far as the problems (needing to re-hear dialog, manual commercial skip), but I find jump back 7 seconds/jump forward 30 seconds to be infinitely preferable to FF/RW to solve them. What makes jump bad for you to the point where FF/RW is crucial for these problems?<br>

If you use FF/RW you get a visual feedback where you are and can stop. If you jump XX seconds back or ahead you don’t know where you are.<br>

There are scenes in movies which are boring so I use FF to play faster while I can still see the scene.</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Prime example: Matrix: Reloaded</div><div><br></div><div>During the "dance/sex" scene. BORING/Dumb.</div>
