Hello Robert and list: This is probably as about as good as it gets where VLC is concerned; good job of laying it out there! It works, for I, myself, tried some of your instructions (and they _will_ work! So there ya go Randy; give it a shot; I think you'll do well to listen to what Robert is telling you here! Tom Kaufman

Randy: Your original message was: Friends, I can't make heads or tails of this thing. can someone tell me how to get....for example form one episode to another? I even tried pressing the n as in nancy key....it stops. Can someone help, if you don't mind, please? You have wasted a lot of time going off on tangents. I strongly recommend that you read the following and make sure that you understand what you are being told. Put your DVD in the drive. Start VLC player. Use Control+D to bring up the disk dialogue. Tab through this dialogue and make sure that the DVD appears in the field that indicates the disk that will be opened. If your target DVD is not in that field because you have more than one DVD drive then use the browse button to move to the correct drive. Once you have verified that you have the correct disk selected, use the shift+tab button to go back to the play button. Press space on the play button and after 10 to 30 seconds (depending on the preference of the DVD manufacturer), the DVD will begin to play. To play or pause the DVD use the space bar. Use P only if you want to start playback from the very beginning. The playback menu can be reached by Alt+L . In the playback menu you will find: Title - which will tell you the length of the titles on the DVD Chapter - which tells you about the chapters of the selected title Program which will probably show as being unavailable Speed Custom bookmarks Jump forward (see the keyboard shortcuts below) Jump backward See below Jump to specific time see below Previous title Next title Previous Chapter Next Chapter Play Stop Previous Next Record So, to do what you say you want to do in your original message, press space to make sure your DVD is playing, press space again to pause playback then use Alt+l to go to the playback menu then go down to the next title and press enter. Wait for a few seconds for the program to adjust and then press space to resume playback. The following shortcut keys can be used rather than the jump item in the playback menu: Shift+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Very short jump (3 seconds) Alt+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Short jump (10 seconds) Ctrl+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Medium jump (1 minute) Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Left/Arrow Right Long jump When you are finished, control+q will close VLC. Do not use the X or N keys in VLC or you will have unexpected consequences. There is no need for you to use the "pass next key" function of your screen reader for any command in VLC.
