[MPlayer-users] -ss still broken ???

[Joonas Koivunen]

You can do a one 1400MB file and then split it with mencoder at 700MB.. As 
seeking in those mpeg-ps streams (correct me if/when/as i'm wrong) still 
seems to be broken, but I guess it is very far from trivial and not with such 
high priority as there is so easy way around..
