I REALLY want to commend everyone that has worked to implement this, and
Rockbox in general. It is amazing work being done. As for the FF/RW, or
simulating chapters, I would love to have BOTH as an option, perhaps L-R is
RW-FF, and holding Menu+L-R is moving breakpoints/chapters...

The video quality if very good, the only complaint I would have to pick
something is banding. I converted all of the Star Wars DVDs including
animated Clone Wars 1&2 to wmv for my friend on his Zune, now I am
converting them to 320-240mpeg2 for my Gigabeat. (Yes, we both own them all)
They look amazing so far.


How do I do an official request for feature? I would love to help, but I
honestly don't have the modern programming experience.
