I recently realized that I have bad seeking problems on my windows 
machine with VLC so that it's difficult to skip the commercials.  It can 
play the file at normal speed perfectly.  I switched over to Media 
Player Classic and it seeks perfectly, as if they were local files.
VLC is the only thing I have that can decode a 640x480 mpeg4 stream 
though.  Media player classic fails to render it for some reason but can 
do a 480x480 stream no problem.  Until I get a fix for the seek problem 
in VLC I'm using media player classic.
