Rewind or Fast-Forward Streaming Video
You??™ve probably encountered a video on the Web that won??™t let you rewind
(without starting over) or fast-forward to skip ahead. It??™s not such a big deal
with 20-second clips, but when you??™re watching a half-hour broadcast
mostly featuring a talking head, it can be infuriating that you can??™t just skip
ahead to the car chase.
Usually, this is a limitation of the video file (or of the player), and not simply
an option that can be turned on or off. A lot of streaming video clips have
this problem, particularly .wmv and .asf videos. To rewind or fast-forward
these videos, they must be indexed, something you can only do if the video
file is stored on your hard disk. If there??™s a web-based video you want to
index, you??™ll need to download it to your hard disk first??”as described in
???Download Online Video Clips,??? later in this chapter.
To index a .wmv file, download the free Windows Media Encoder from http://
www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx and
open the Windows Media File Editor. Drag-drop the video onto the Editor
window, and from the File menu, select Save and Index. Thereafter, you??™ll be
able to rewind and fast-forward the clip to your heart??™s content.
