Thank you Mike. It really is a great player and I am very lucky and happy to have won it. I used to use WMP to watch video, although I had to download external codecs to try to play some video on it. WMP is nice but Splash EX pro has more features and the picture quality is very good. Like I said, since I won it is the only player I use now. I will try to contact their tech support to see if there is a fix for the .avi problem. I see that Alpha is also experiencing the same issue.

I wrote an e-mail to Mirillis' tech support about the .avi issue. In the meantime, while browsing their forums one of their team members had this response to the issue:

"At the moment FFWD is available only for AVCHD structure playback.
We plan to add this in future versions for normal files playback too."

So it appears that only AVCHD video can use FFWD thus the issue with.avi video. I will post their response from the e-mail I sent once I receive it.
