> What application created the file ?
I dont know

I try to reencoded it with mencoder and set key frames to 1s

>> MPlayer (and almost all other video players) can only jump to the
>> nearest I-frame/keyframe in a video.  You could reencode the video as
>> all-I-frames, or seek some distance before the time you want, and let it
>> play until it reaches the proper time.
>>> The problem is, when I use command "seek 4 2", it jump to 00:09:00.
>>> Also when I use "seek 60 2", it actually seek to 64 or so. But
>>> sometimes it jump on correct time (usually when I choose different
>>> time, e.g. "seek 300 2" jumps to 00:05:00).
