finished video product sometimes are unable to rewind and fast forward
why is this and how can i avoid it? i suppose it’s not a software specific problem necessarilly yet, at least for now I would just like to know what is this general problem as i’ve seen it in video files i’ve received or made myself, though since i’m at it i’ll mention i created a smaller movie for my windows mobile phone using avi recomp and although the original file would allow for fast forwarding or skipping ahead or behind the shrunken file won’t. it basically gets stuck and i’m sure you all have seen that and at least if not most of you know what this common problem is about. so what is and and how do i avoid it. thanks

Not sure what AVI Recomp is!
Video that lacks the ability to jump back or forward capabilities is often lacking an Index. Like in a book, the index is the last thing created during the compression. If the app used to do the compression crashes or the computer is shut off prior to completion, you will end up with a partial video file with no index.

aah, thank you so much. i’ve heard that term “index” before and it makes a lot of sense especially as lately my comp and/or program has been crashing before finishing these tasks. thanks a lot.
