I can confirm that seeking works 100% reliable on the video software I have 
written myself. The BeOS MediaKit is buggy with regards to 
BMediaTrack::SeekToFrame/Time(), which is that it does *not* seek to any 
keyframes as advertized. Instead, you have to use 
FindKeyFrameForFrame/Time() and pass the result to SeekToFrame/Time(). Can 
you provide a stackcrawl of the VideoPro crashes? I mean, is the crash even 
in the 3ivx codec?

Best regards,
