If I notice that a recording starts X minutes into the recording

I've got to admit, though, that when I'm in TV-watching mode (i.e.
brain in power-save mode), doing the math to get to the end can be a
challenge... OK, let's see. 2 hour 2 minute recording, I'm
currently at 15 minutes, 12 seconds, so there's about 1 hour 46
minutes left, and I want to jump to 5 minutes before the end then use
the normal skips to see how it ends, so I need 1 hour 41 minutes;
then, I have to go throught the "units" discussion with myself--Myth
takes minutes unless it's over an hour, in which case, you can use
minutes for up to 99 or hours then minutes--so type in 141 then hit
right to jump. Usually (without the written notes in an e-mail)
about this time I figure out I made a mistake with the calculations
in my head and start the process over. At least the second time, it
gets easier because the numbers are smaller. Hmmm, maybe I should do
a patch for jump to X minutes before end...
Enter a number then press "I". 3-0-I will take you to 30:00 no matter
where you are currently. 1-2-0-I takes you to 1:20:00 (80 minutes) and
not 2:00:00 (120 munutes).
So, if you are at 15:12 and want to check 5 minutes before the end of
2:02:00, press Space to Save Position, 1-5-7-I to jump to 1:57:00,
ESC to Exit without save, and restart to the bookmark at 15:12.
Variation,
1-5-I to go back to about where you were before. 'nother variation, press
Pause then 3-0-0-I. This will take you to a paused frame a few seconds
before the end. Seek from there if it doesn't show you what you need.
Wow. Can't wait to get home to try that out...
Thanks.
Mike
