If you want _maximum_ scrubbability, you're best off using a format like 
MJPEG, where _every_ frame is a keyframe. Either that, or you'll need to 
modify the player to cache entire GOPs in memory (and run it on sufficiently 
beefy hardware).

For _improved_ scrubbability, you could simply decrease the keyframe interval 
with the keyint=<x> libavcodec option.
