running mythcommflag on xvid AVI files; fast forward or rewind ends up<br>with a partially painted frame for a few seconds, with parts of the<br>frame retained from before the FF/RW, until it hits the next keyframe.<br>Is that the same failure mode you're seeing?

<div><br>Ditto Marc's comments I'm afraid!</div>
<div>Somewhere it was mentioned that mythtranscode can also redo the seek table, maybe worth a try?</div>
