They're slightly different -- the first is that we're seeking fast enough that 
the decoder isn't getting enough time to do all of its buffering, and so 
doesn't display anything.  Second is that I haven't figured out if it's 
possible to tell it to stop after showing one specific frame.

Yeah, same here.  Try capturing at 720xX, that may help.  It's an artifact of 
the decoder (telling it to display the last shown frame after it's stopped 
decoding) after a seek.  I can make it be all black, but that didn't feel 
right when I tested with things.
