Are you saying that you can seek forward, but not backward?

Anyway, it is possible that your MPlayer was not built with large
file support. You can apply the following patch to your MinGW
header.

http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/file64_mingw.diff

Save the diff file in your mingw/include directory. Start  MSYS,
go to /mingw/include and type:

patch -i file64_mingw.diff

Go to your MPlayer source directory, 'make clean', then make
to re-build MPlayer.

OR you can download a pre-built binary at the same site
(http://oss.netfarm.it/).
