The feature of skipping 10 seconds forward or backward is nice. However, how should one interpret that 10 seconds skip if the film is playing at half speed? Is that 10 seconds to be considered 10 real seconds, so 5 film seconds? Or is it 10 film seconds, so 20 real seconds?
The current implementation does a 10 film second skip (so 20 real seconds).
I am anxious for your opinion.

It should be 10 film seconds.

Its bit tricky and finally I will go with 10 sec movie...

What fun......its 10 sec. movie I hope i m right...

Is that 10 seconds to be considered 10 real seconds, so 5 film seconds? Or is it 10 film seconds, so 20 real seconds?

I would expect that it would skip 10sec with reference to the file's time index, regardless of playback rate. Any other behavior than that would find me annoyed.

Speaking of annoyed, when I jump ahead or back by 5sec, it actually jumps anywhere from 1sec to 12sec. Same for jumping 10sec. If I jump 60sec, it usually has a margin of error +/- 15sec (usually on the + side). This occurs with xvid or divx encoded .avi files, anyway. Haven't tried with other formats.

I see most of you go for the 10-sec movie time.
But consider the situation of zooming into a particular event, slowing down the movie more-and-more. So: view, skip back, slow-down one more step, view again, skip back, slow down even more, view again, etc. Until you have a clear indication what happened in each frame.
In this constellation skipping back 10 movie seconds is annoying and 10 real-seconds would be more appropriate.

How about a separate function which skips realtime-seconds, opposite the current buttons which skip movie-seconds?
