Another trick is to hold the control key while clicking 
the step forward or step backward buttons on the 
right hand side of the controller.   This brings up a 
tiny jog shuttle contol that allows you to fast forward 
and rewind the movie.  This works if you use the 
Quicktime controller on a safari web page and other 
applications that use the traditional Quicktime controller.   

It unfortunately not implemented in Revolution's 
Quicktime Player.   This I guess should be a feature 
request to add it to Revolution's player.
