Fast Forward and Rewind an imported movie file?

[jpaddock3000]

I can't seem to fast forward or rewind my local movie files. I can only use the skip ahead 10 second feature. The movies are .avi files. Any help would be great.

Thank you

I think the ff/rw was removed due to the fact in never really worked very well, due to the fact that AVIs are transcoded to the MVP. I could be wrong though, as I don't play them, I just remember reading this recently. (possibly in some release notes)

FF 4x works fine for me with all of my imports (mostly AVI and WMV) but if I try 16x 64x or 256x it locks it up.

RW doesn't work at all.

If you are using the latest beta, then anything beta related should be posted in the beta section & note this part of the v6.1.4 release notes:

If you are not using the latest beta, then note it has been disabled in a later version than what you are using since it wasn't working properly when the video has to be transcoded, as you've noticed.

So, I just switched to the newer version of Sage and started noticing that the smooth ff was disabled on transcoded material.

But, its pretty annoying that the buttons don't do anything. Can't the smooth ff button fast foward 10 seconds for transcoded material and do smooth ff for everything else?
