Stupid WMA and ASF Files, you can't rewind and fast forward in Windows Media Player!!

[RbSX]

This is pretty stupid, encode a rather long movie, and not being able to fast forward and rewind it. What a gross waste of time.

Does anyone have any suggestions about a program that you can use that can fast forward and rewind?

I think not being able to FF or RW is a property of the specific file you are working with, not the player. A lack of indexes makes this happen.

should i write same as above instead of quoting. anyway the indexes part is important. check gspot information program

you will also fail to be able to change position if the file isn't fully downloaded yet. ASF is a streaming media format, so if you don't have the full file cached, it won't let you mov positions.

MPlayer will do it. It's a property of a specific movie, not incomplete ones. A program called ASFTools lets you change that property so you can seek within a file from within any application.

Why would you be encoding in sh!tty wma and asf format? (You probably aren't. See above.)
