I'd like to find a video player that lets me scroll quickly through an AVI,
MPG, etc. file, using the scroll bar (scrubber) at the bottom, and see and
hear the contents of the video as I scroll.

Tried Windows Media Player, Real Player, ATI Multimedia Center File player -
the image is frozen while I move the scrubber, and no new image appears
until I have finished moving the scrubber. Therefore, I have no idea what
video was in between the start/finish of the scrubber move. No good.

Pinnacle Studio 8 - the video changes as I move the scrubber, but the
preview window is too small.

Virtual Dub - ALMOST what I want. The video changes as I move the scrubber,
but there is I don't hear any audio. Also it takes a long time to parse a
MPEG file before I can scroll through it. (Using VDub Mod)

Didn't do what I'm looking for. Need a player that changes the display as
you move the scrubber. VideoLan, like some others that I named, doesn't
update the display until you've finished moving the scrubber, so you can't
know what was on the video that you just scrolled past.

Anybody else have a recommendation/

Use Media Player Classic, enable and use the 'controls'
section.

Google for mpc98me6482.zip if you have Win98, SE or WinME.
There is a version for NT & XP as well
