Breakthrough]

I have successfully copied both the video and audio using mencoder, and I
can view the resulting video in windows, however, I cannot seek in the
video. If I try to seek, the seek bar moves appropriately and so does the
sound, but the picture freezes from the last displayed image and stays
that way until I reload the file.
are others able to seek on these videos in windows?
I've tried divfix and virtual dub to recreate the index with no success.

As I have said here many times, it does not work correctly to resample the
video and not the audio (or vice versa). If you re-encode one, you must
re-encode the other.
Of course, copying both should work fine (and does for some folks here). I
suspect it's a software/configuration problem on the Windows side that
prevents it from working.
