Sometimes I think I need to add to the online knowledge of things when I discover something that I did not discover online (which a lot of times is where I get a lot of my information...). I know when I am in a jam with some type of electronic I go online to see if there was anyone who had the same struggle in hopes to find an answer to my problem. However, I hardly ever add answers or help to the online community when I discover something. I think about adding some discoveries I find in order to help others that may be going through the same problems, but a lot of times I forget blog my discoveries.
So...let me add an answer/help to the online community at large with a certain electronic called the WD TV Media Player (Western Digital TV Video, Music and Photo Player). I have the WD TV Media Player and I found out that if you encode a DVD you own using HandBrake for Mac OS X to a .m4v video file the WD TV player can play this file, but the WD TV cannot rewind or fast forward through the video. UNLESS, you change the extension from .m4v to .mp4 file extension. Then the WD TV player recognizes that file better and you can then rewind and fast forward without any problem.
There is my revelation/discovery with the WD TV player. It did frustrate me when I encoded a DVD to a .m4v video file and I could not rewind or fast forward through the video on my WD TV, but now I can by just changing the file extension. I hope that helps someone else who may have this device.
God bless!
