Wondering what ya'll think is the best DixV viewer for _fast forwarding_ through parts of DivX movies. (Not jumping, or seeking, but fast forwarding like a VCR).

The only decent one I've seen so far is Zoom player, but it only seems to FF at about 2x or so.

What do you guys think?

It's the fastest you'll have with a directshow based player (read: virtually all of them).

Any non-directshow viewers you know of then?

Not on the Windows platform, sorry.

You could always try to compile mplayer on cygwin :p
...but I don't think you'll try that.

IMHO, you're out of luck.
