yes, skipped MBs. it looks like a checkboard, every 2nd or 3rd MB is
skipped, so you need 2 or 3 I/P frames to get the whole picture.

try any VOB (i've tried matrix.vob and
apollo_440_-_lost_in_space(jason_nevis_lunar_landing).vob, the later is on
mphq too) with mplayer file.vob -nosound -fps 2 and then seek.

hmm. does it also flush internal buffers/states when using 'truncated' mode?
(i mean passing mpeg frame data by small chunks instead as whole frame ?)
