I've noticed that when using fast forward or rewind, the screen stays on the last frame, and doesn't update until you press play. Is this normal operation, or have I done something stupid to my codecs?

This is when viewing video files of different types, eg. AVI files with DIVX content, and MKV files with H264 too. Can't say what happens on TV mode, as I don't have a tuner card!

I get the same as above. Haven't messed abotu with my old SVN16xxx setup in a while to sort it out... I think it may be a fault of the old TSWriter I'm still using?

That's a known problem with the nvidia codecs.
They are quite old and not actively developed on.
Try with cyberlink or any other and it should work

Just bear in mind I'm using Cyberlink (PDVD v7.3) and have the same problem...

ok, I tried changing the mpeg2 decoder to FFDSHOW, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
It seems odd that I get the same issue with MKV files with H264, as I don't seem to be loading the nvidia codec for these...

I believe it has to with key frames. I know i can ffwd dvd isos wonderfully, but xvid are choppy at best. Perhaps I should make an xivid and make every 30 frames a keyframe, and test that.
