Hi loren, I've been playing with the VLC media player a little bit and from what I've seen while the focus is in the VLC window you can hit the enter key which will move the focus to the beginning of the movie. If this doesn't do it you can press shift-f10 and arrow down to the chapters sub-menu and select the particular chapter you want to play. Hope this helps.
Jeff, if there's anything I'm missing any suggestions you have would be great since you know this thing better than both of us. I'm trying to help one of my friends whose not on this list with the same issue. Thanks a lot for suggesting this player I've been testing it out for the last few days and so far it's working great for me.
