I have found that you can't stop and back up the dvd to catch something you missed.

you have to start from the first of the track and wait until it comes back around.

Am I doing something wrong?

	mebacon says: 7/18/2011 12:54:13 PM One of my favorite programs is Ultimate DVD player. It is written by the same person that wrote Amazing Slowdowner. There are also several free programs that do the same. It will slow down or speed up Murphy without changing the pitch and you can pick out sections that you can loop to practice over and over.

	mebacon says: 7/19/2011 11:37:09 AM The program "Amazing Slowdowner" will work with CD's. It is what Ron Block uses and he suggested it to me at a banjo camp. Slowing things down and or speeding things up can be very helpful.

For many years I used Windows Media Player placing the cursor on the progress bar and clicking to jump back/Fwd on a lesson. It worked just fine then I discovered the VLC Player (which is free) and enables you to slowdown/speed up play. It's even possible to loop a section no need to rewind a lesson click the start and end then there is no need to hit rewind.
