perian for the win...
would be nice if perian added some extra control functionality to QT too... the thing i miss in perian compared to VLC is the ability to do small medium and large jumps forward and back (easy to skip intros or back up a few seconds if i miss a subtitle on some anime)
are there any plugins which add this sort of thing?

unfortunately, thats not an option as i'm on an iMac, however i did discover that you can do that using the j, k and l keysIf you are using a Macbook, with a touchpad. 2 handed swipes, held down for different periods of time do multispeed fast forward and reverse. Very easy once you know how. After a while you know how much to swish you r hand to skip how much. Hard to explain, try it and you will understand. Did it by accident the 1st time, I am sure there is some Apple support doc on how it is all done.
