Hello,

Please see if you can send email with hard-coded line-breaks, those
overlong lines will be hard to read for quite a few people.

Is it reasonable to make (part of) such a file available?

> what I discovered yesterday is that mplayer itself does not do this - osd timer runs perfectly fine with no halting or skipping.  arrow rew/ffwd move in nice little chunks but in gmplayer the arrow movement is based around where the timer halts and leaps fwd (so arrow resolution in gmplayer is measured in minutes instead of seconds; that's kind of a big deal in instructional vids :)).

when you run gmplayer from the command-line, what does the status line
say? Does it have the same jumps? Is the version it displays the same as
that of you MPlayer, maybe those are different versions? (try mplayer
-gui ... instead of gmplayer, note that -gui must be the first option).

Don't forget -ofps, if you do not set it, wmvs will be encoded with about 1000
frames per second.
