Hi, A few weeks ago, I asked if people had strong opinions about film viewing attendance policies in undergraduate courses. The feedback to this question was fantastic, and I just wanted to thank everyone who took time to reply. I am writing with another question: Does anyone know of any software that makes it possible to jump to a specific moment in time on a DVD? For example, imagine that I'm reviewing scenes from the film "Annie Hall" in a lecture on "the long take." I would love to be able to jump to the sidewalk scene with Rob (5:00), the Allison/Alvie bedroom scene (14:25), and the first visit to Annie's apartment (29:21). The chapter/scene menu is only of limited use in such a situation. I've consulted the manual for the DVD player, and there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this. However, the computer in the classroom does have a DVD ROM drive. I'm currently using a piece of software called VL Player that allows me to move through the disc using a slider bar. This is a reasonably workable solution, but it isn't very precise. Has anyone else come up with solutions to this problem?
