Every time i see a movie in my Mac with of course in its default Movie player - QuickTime, I always get irritated with its Seek bar. I have a habit of seeking back the movie to re-watch the favorite scenes in them. To do this i generally move the seek bar cursor to reach to that scene time stamp which i just found good. Doing this in Windows Media player - Windows default media player is very easy because the Seek bar in Windows media player is wide enough to move the seek cursor to particular time stamp . (More to this Windows media player plays audio video both not like Mac which has two players for Audio and Video i.e., iTunes and QuickTime ). Basically Windows media player’s seek bar extends from very left of the screen to ver right leaving long enough place to seek the movie to desired time stamp.

But in contrast QuickTime in Mac has a very small controller which cant also be resized ( why ???????? ) . The controller fits all controls including seek bar . Moving the time stamp cursor in QuickTime seek bar never reaches to the exact desired time stamp . Because of this i hate to see movies in QuickTime . And even if i see movies in QuickTime i use the fast forward/backward button to reach to the desired time stamp to re-watch my favorite scene . I find this particular control in QuickTime very frustating . What about you?
