I found a way to FF and RR the video/MP3 playback on the Pearl.

When the video is playing scroll the trackball UP until the progress bar turns BLUE. Then click it and scroll right or left.

FWIW, its right in the help file on the Pearl.

I wouldn't call it fast forward or rewind per say but it does allow you to skip forward or backward in the song or video. It won't however let you see the video while fast forwarding like you thing with a DVD or VCR (if anyone still has one of those).

i hate that it goes in huge increments. btw, it seems the increment that you skip is proportional to the length of the video or song. i wish it would go by seconds...

Great tip!!

The forward-skip is proportional to the size of the file. I tested it on a 2.5 hour movie and it was in 6-minute increments. On a 4 minute music video, it was 12 seconds.

I guess there needs to be a sticky on this because this was talked about months ago. Probably on page 1000 of the threads

And yes, it's not really an autoimatic fast forward or rewind, it's more of a way to manually move the video forward and backwards to an indicated time.

Bonus Tip: If I am able to only watch an increment of a video what I do is note what the time stamp indicates as to where I am at on the video. When reopening to where I left off, I foward using the bar to the time indicated.
