I think I read somewhere that enabling the option to seek to exact frame 
(Under playback settings) might help with this?   It's worth a shot.

Just out of curiosity, how is the picture resolution look with your 
system set to Bob?   I like the smoothness of motion, but there's a 
distinct hit in the picture resolution for me.   (Which I believe is an 
inherent problem with the Bob technique itself?)
