Videos won't let me skip ahead, please help

[Xab]

I am using Windows Media Player 10 with the Intervideo DVD & MP3 pack installed as an MPEG-2 decoder. When I try to play an MPEG-2 video, it starts up and looks just fine. But when I try to skip ahead, let's say to a specific part of the movie, the slider just flashes right back to the beginning. It dooesn't let me skip ahead in the movie.

It always used to let me do this as recent as a couple weeks ago, it just mysteriously stopped letting me skip ahead recently. Anyone have any ideas what would make it do this? I'm really frustrated. Thanks

Yea, some of the porn I download does that and other clips don't. I always wondered how to skip ahead to the good parts

Hehe, these are recorded TV shows from my old ReplayTV that I still watch sometimes. I used to be able to skip ahead just fine, but all of a sudden no =(

I'm not expert of the video but if i understand it correctly, if a video is not encoded with markers in the timeline then you lose the ability to skip ahead or rewind, cuz it has no references to go to.

Anybody else have any ideas

Does it do it for any type of video file you play in WMP?

No, it seems like only for MPEG-2 videos.
