Why can't I REW or FF .MPEG files with Win Media Player 9?

[thatsright]

I can use WMP9 normally with .wmv files and .avi Video files normally. Yet with .mpeg video files I can't use the Rewind or Fast Forward buttons. Anyone have an idea of what is causing this restriction in WMP9?

Thanks

If the mpeg files are not indexed you will not be able to ff or rew.

I am not sure if you can add indexing without re-encoding.

try it with classic media player, sometimes it works.. well, for me it did on some of the videos WMP9 couldnt rewind/forward.
