How To: Fast Forward & Rewind Video/Audio In Small Increments

Beerfest[3]While playing around listening to some music and watching video on my BlackBerry 8310 I discovered something I had never known before. In my previous Rant! about the video options on the BlackBerry I mentioned my frustration about the fast forward and rewind increments on the BlackBerry media player. The default movement is in extremely large increments that makes finding your place in a movie or TV show quite annoying.

Low and behold I found that if I held down the ALT key while moving forward or backward then the music/video moves forward in smaller 5 second increments. This is not the true answer to my Rant but it is a step in the right direction!

On a side note I also discovered that if you hit the SYM key while playing a video it will switch the interface from full screen to showing the control bar. Keep in mind the full screen option is not available on the 8800 but is on the 8300 series and the 8820 & 8830.
