Movie File won't fast forward

[DonGallego28]

I just downloaded a small movie file (about 20 minutes) but windows media player (or any other players) won't let me fast forward. Every time I try to skip ahead the bar just jumps back to where it was. Basically to watch the last minute you have to watch the 19 minutes before that. Does anyone know how to fix this?????

Sounds like someone wants to skip right to the money shot......

LMAO hahahah....no but seriously it's really not a porno....it's this clip i found of conan o brian on the net but i don't feel like sitting through the first couple of minutes in the interview....i just checked and the clip is actually only 12 1/2 minutes long not 20 like i originally said....lol though becuase i have seen that in a lot of porno's...it doesn't let you skip ahead

Try playing the file with Media Player Classic and use Ctlr-Left or Ctrl-Right arrow keys to go forward & rewind.

What format? No fast forward is common on AVIs when the file is corrupted. Not unusual with downloads. The timeline is messed up.

If it's a AVI you can probably fix it by running through VirtualDub and resaving it. Other programs should be able to do this also. If MPEG, still is possible.

Look to 'Tools' on the left. >>> for 'Video Repair/Fix'.
