Unable to 'seek'

[Jeff]

I have encode MPEG1 files using TMPGEnc, and it is great. It works great! It does exactly what I wanted it to do. Especially in converting file formats and resizing file size, I just love it. And I'm using the latest version of TMPGEnc, v. 2.00<br><br>But...<br>Do you know that in Windows Media Player 7 (Windows ME), where you can use the 'seek' function to jump between seconds, minutes, and hours... you know that right?<br>I have no problem with the 'seek' function. I can use it. Infact, I have been using the seek function to jump instantly between parts of movies that I want to watch for years.<br><br>OK, Here is the problem.<br>If I encoded my huge Movie file (Video=1150 Kbits/s + Audio=224 Kbits/s) into a smaller size one (Video=200 or 150 Kbits/s + Audio=64 Kbits/s), I can use the seek function.<br><br>But if I encoded my huge Movie file into a (Video=120 or 110 Kbits/s + Audio=64 Kbits/s), I can watch the file, but the seek function will no longer work in Windows Media Player. The time still moves, but the video and audio does not. Meaning, I can't fast forward or rewind.<br><br>Is this a bug? Or is there a requirement of Kbits/s for the seek function to work properly?<br><br>Thanks in Advance.

And one more thing, I converted the file @ 25 FPS.

I have encountered this problem. I am not aware of a fix for it, except using another player. I find that Real player plays good and it keeps the audio in sync better.

[Jeff]

Am I making myself clear or was my statement very confusing to you?

[Matt Keys]

I understood it, but thats probably because I have the same issue.

uh... dont use media player. its got way too much overhead. <br><br>if you read my thread on the enterprise wmv, i'd like to add that when i got it working on media player, it ran like shit so i used gDivX (which also plays wmv) and it runs perfectly.
