Hi, I'm figuring out some stuff on guitar and need sections of a piece to repeat over and over to make the task easier. Does anyone know of a free media player that will allow you to repeatedly repeat a chosen section. It's a feature a lot of dvd machines have.

The media player should be able to apply this feature to flv files.
 
That feature is only included in quicktime PRO. It's not free.
I want a simple set up. Using garageband to watch a video clip, sounds elaborate.
Any more ideas for a free straight-forward media player with the feature I'm looking for ?

I would appreciate the help.

You need to be clear about what you are doing. You say that you are working with a guitar. That implies music which implies GarageBand or QuickTime Pro. Now it appears that you want to watch a video of someone playing a guitar. In this case, the guitar is the subject matter and has nothing to do with the solution to your problem.

Looping video is a feature the QuickTime Player. The QuickTime Player can play Flash video, but QuickTime Pro cannot edit it. You will have to convert your Flash video into an editable format.
 
just had another look at quicktime
... and: yep, you can't loop sections
... If so, IT AIN'T FREE !!!
By the way MisterMe, I think I was implying I want something similar to a DVD feature (...which is a video - not an audio feature) , if you want to play with semantics. ;-)
 
If no one can answer this, I will assume that there is no solution to my original thread:

Have you tried using VLC? I haven't tried with FLV files, but I imagine it should be able to play them since it plays pretty much everything under the sun. Not sure if you can select a segment though, but it's worth a look.
