 This is a recent bug, I guess either introduced somewhere in the last 6
 weeks or caused by a change in the encoding of BBC HD.

 After watching a recording for a period, the first seek made either
 through skip/jump or the editor is wildly wrong, most of the time several
 minutes later in the recording than it should be. Additionally the
 bookmark mark written to the database does not correspond to the actual
 location.

 The symptoms initially suggest a bad seektable, such as the issue reported
 for #9126 so this may be a duplicate but the effects are different. I can
 seek around the recording with the editor and the byte offsets seem fine,
 the last frame in the table does seem to correspond to the end of the
 recording, the total recording length appears to be accurate unlike in
 #9126.

 The first 20 entries in the seektable show a variable frame distance, not
 a static one. The last mark in the table is 77263 with an offset of
 6435781440. There are 5818 entries in total.

 It's also possible that framesPlayed is bogus, not the seektable?
