Looking for a DVD Player with same functionality as CyberPro Power DVD

I have just converted from PC to Mac, and love it, but have a special requirement and need some guidance.
I work in TV and need to be able to preview footage shot on site that has been converted onto a DVD. On my old PC using Power DVD, after hitting 'Play' I can fast forward and fast reverse, and increase the speed of FF or FR in small increments (up to 32 times normal speed) using the scroll wheel on my mouse. That gives me a lot of control as I search through countless hours of footage to shot list, and saves heaps of time.
With the standard Mac DVD Player, I can hold down the FF and FR buttons to get a slight increase in speed, but it is still far too slow and clumsy for what I need.
VLC was recommended, but when I hold down the FF and FR it scrolls in minutes, whereas I need to scroll in frames.
Does anybody know of a high quality DVD Player with the scrolling features similar to Power DVD that I can purchase?

Have you tried, +DVD Player>Controls>Scan Rate+ ?

Looking for a music player with a very specific feature

I've been looking for this ever since I completely left windows behind, and six months later, it's killing me that I haven't found the right music player.
Obviously, I used to use foobar2000. The greatest thing about it for was the 'facets' extension which added customizable filter panels. The MOST GREATEST THING about it was that you could combine directory and tag sorting, which means I could sort my REDICULOUSLY HUGE music library by Folder/Folder/Album, which corresponded to Genre/Artist/Album. For various finicky little reasons, sorting it by folder was much more effective than by tags.
Does anyone know any media player which allows this?

Hi, I was a foobar2000 user too. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't find a good replacement, but i've found one. It's quodlibet. Unfortunately right now it's not possible to do Folder/Folder/Album in the panels, but QL has a 'filesystem view' for this. Other than that it can do the good stuff:
- freeform tagging
- freeform filtering
It means that you can set whatever tag you want to and then put it in the panels, song list or search bar. It has conditional tags too. For me it was Genre/Style/<albumartist|<albumartist>|<artist>>/Album, but I do not use the panels anymore. I do not have to see my library everytime I play some music. These days I'm using the Album List with the search bar and doing stuff like &(style=goa,#(playcount<1),#(discogs_votes>=50),#(year <= 1998)) makes my day. Replaygain with auto-select between 'track' and 'album' based on current view and play order is a neat feature too. ;-)

Looking for a MP3 Player with good Bass.

Hi,
I have a Nokia N73 Music edition phone. The built in MP3 player gives a decent output, but deep bass sounds are not reproduced properly and the overall sound is not very impressive (not crisp). I tested with two pairs of good Philips and Sony head phones, using a 2.5 mm audio converter (problem is not with the headphones).
Is there a good Symbian MP3 player with a good equalizer or special signal processing features to produce deeper bass sounds? (Like Sony Ericsson MegaBase)

Whatever you do to the sound with the processor (or a DSP) will be a compromise if the output stages aren't up to scratch.
The only things you can do are
increase the bass level (causes clipping in loud passages - I'm guessing this is what you tried and didn't like)
compress the bass (bass will be loud enough in quiet passages, but won't be louder in the loud passages - I think this is a bit more processor intensive and complex and doubt there's any software that does it)
or
reduce the treble and midrange (you will have to turn the volume up, but if you can that's the best option as it should be lower in distortion). I would try this last idea and see how that does.

I'm looking for a music player with the following features:

Hi everyone,
I'm setting up a linux desktop for the first time. I'd like some directions on finding a music player. Here are my criteria, in order of importance:
- Can play (at least) ogg, mp3 and wav
- Prefers a 'playlist approach' (m3u) to a 'media library' approach
- Can play songs without breaks in-between
- Fast startup
- Simple interface (ex. VLC beats mplayer)
My window manager is pekwm. This is for usability reasons, not performance reasons - my comp. can handle all the bells and whistles you throw at it (actually, I tried with my doorbell, but I wouldn't recommend with the church bell). (sorry for the bad humour). Crazy visualisations and features whose sole purposes are to eat up CPU cycles are O.K.
Good support for keyboard would be appreciated - I am a pekwm user.
So what have you got?

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player?

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk with pics to play in a dvd player? I don't want to deal with older versions of ilife.

Whats the best alternative to idvd for burning a disk
In my opinion, there are none.
Yes, there are other programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I am looking at an MP3 player with the capability to download audio-books. Is the Nano the one for me?

I need a new mp3 player & have never had an Apple product. A must have "accessory" is to download e books.
Is this the product for me?

Thanks! I did not know that. I have been looking for an mp3 player for a long time & did not realize the one I wanted was right in front of my nose! [ at Walmart]

Looking for a file manager with copy queue

Hey,
I'm looking for a file manager with a file-copy-queue feature.
It is useful when browsing mounted samba shares, and you find something you want to copy.
You'll then start copying the files, and then spot another useful folder. You start copying that as well
and suddenly you got 5 different file copies processing at the same time, which decreases the copy speed.
I also miss the feature when transfering files from my external harddrives.
If there is a lot of FM's with this feature, I prefer one without kde-dependencies, as I am using xfce.

Ranguvar wrote:If MC really does have that as a feature, it's once again proved itself _the_ graphical (sorta) file manager.
sorry for misinformed.
mc has a background job option while copying, it is not exactly a queue like functionality, but simulating to be a queue, and you can stop/resume a background job.

Looking for a .ISO player

I am looking for a .iso player that will play all the movies contained in a
single .iso image file. VLCMediaPlayer will only play the first movie. You
wind up with more than one movie if you have ripped a DVD that has, for
instance, move than one episode on it.

Use DaemonTools to mount your *.iso as a virtual disc or use e.g. WinRAR to extract all separate files.

Can AE provide wired LAN connectto DVD player with internet streaming

Hi!
Can you please tell me if the Airport Express (in a home network that has a Airport Extreme as the primary router) be used to connect wirelessly to the router and then use the LAN 100 port to connect a DVD player with internet video streaming.
Bottom line, can the AE LAN port be used to feed a wired connection, or is it only for taking a LAN input to create a wireless network?
Thanks!

You could continue to use the older "g" devices to stream with AirTunes, but yes, the slower "g" speeds will drag down the performance on the network.
I would give a strong look to ethernet powerline adapters. They are almost as good as having a straight ethernet cable connection and will provide much more bandwidth and speed than wireless.
If you are going to download movies or stream audio and vide, wireless is not the way to go. Ethernet is always the best way to go if possible. Second choice is ethernet powerline adapters. Distant third for movie streaming or gaming applications would be wireless.

Looking for a MP3 player for audiobo

I am looking for an mp3 player that meets these requirements. Creative Labs lists like 50 mp3 plays and no easy way to compare features. So does anyone know if anyone sells anything with these features:?- bookmarking: where I can 'save' a place in a audiobook and go listen to other stuff and come back to where I left off. The 'resume' feature on some devices is not adaquete because it assumes I don't want to listen to anything else. Other devices require me to search through hours of a book to find where I left off. I need something that let's me mark a place and return when I want. - FM feature: because sometimes I want to listen to the radio and not my downloaded music or books!?- flash based: because it's lighter weight, no hard dri've to break (gb flash or upgradable flash card insert is fine)?- removable regular batteries: so that if the batteries go bad, i can get new ones and not ship it off to be opened by someone else?that's it!? is that so hard?!
Please let me know
!!! [email protected]????

portrower8,?Do a search at the top of the page for audiobooks. They have been discussed frequently.?First, you are asking for a flash player, so that limits your choices. For audiobooks that you download from NetLibrary or Overdri've, I would only use one?WITHOUT ?PlaysforSure subscription firmware. That way, the electronic library books?never expire, until you delete them yourself.?I prefer to keep my audiobooks separate from my music. I love the Zen Nano plus GB or the 52MB. These days you can buy the GB for $65-70 from Amazon or Creative. These players can hold four or fi've?audiobooks. Granted they don't have bookmarking as such, but you just?do a pause and?turn it off and the?player starts up where you left off.?Just remember if you buy a bigger flash player with subscription ability for your music, any electronic library audiobook will expire?after 2 days. Are planning on just buying all your audiobooks? Have you checked into the new Zen V and?Zen V plus to use for your music??Best wishes,luvmyrescuedogs

Looking for MP3 Loop Player

I'm looking for an MP3 Player for my 8320 that plays loops accurately and seamlessly: it needs to play the entire MP3 and immediately starts playing it again when it reached the end, repeating the process indefinitely, without any gaps or split-second pauses during playback.
Any suggestions?

did you check the options for your Media application? there are repeat modes.
you can also create a playlist (on your desktop, it's easier) that contains several times the same file.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.

this one has a wireless remote that you can strap onto your steering wheel to control music playback. it's much easer to use then to try and use your touch screen while driving.
