Running ffplay on the file from a terminal ran the file OK.
I have now tried seeking by using Page Up and Page Down keys and these 
do cause the playback position to jump.

Running ffplay with -ss to set starting position also worked.

Now I do not understand you!  I have to be in a terminal window to run 
ffmpeg or ffmplay from the command line.  Why would these commands then 
open another window?

In conclusion using -ss works.

Sorry about that.  End of the day.

Did you note however what the quote from Linn technician said?  How 
would he have come to the conclusion he did?

FYI I have similar files from same source which work fine on Linn 
renderer.  I am trying to understand what is the difference between them 
so I can fix them.
