[MPlayer-users] How to seek a file that is being generated

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

Oh, to make things clear, I was recording as avi, but my latest atempt (the
one described in my last email) was to record as mpeg, as you can see in the
command line.

And thank you for the tip of speeding up playback. I actually feel stupid
for not having thought about it...

Still, it would be nice if I could seek freely. And I can't speed the
playback too much because it seems that above a certain limit (4x or
something like that), speeding up only raises the pitch of the sound, but
doesn't actually make the commercials go faster. Weird...

Thank you for the help.
