    index (make seekable) .wmv files?

    hi -

    i have a few large .wmv files that i downloaded from some internet streams using net transport. they will play in windows media player, at least for a couple mins, but in their current form they are not seekable (i can't skip ahead or scroll through the movie in windows media player). does anyone know how i can index these .wmv files so that they are seekable? i tried windows media file editor, which didnt work at all, and net transport's built-in index function, which indexed part of the file, but not the entire thing (produced an indexed fragment).

    any ideas?

      thanks xero -

      actually i already tried that - for some reason it doesnt work for this type of file, b/c it says that it is already seekable when i try that (even though it isn't)...

      BUT - i figured out how to index the files with net transport, so it's all good... the interface is just a little bit tricky, and i was confused...
