Respectfully, i think u misunderstand.  i've been working with byte offsets
for a few months. Let's assume i have 100 important byte offsets.  i want to
translate those into time offsets.  How do i do it?  Seek to a byte offset and
then read the clock somehow?

Can you try my player?  Now that gtk+ 2.0 is released it should be
really easy for you to build.  You can download the tarball at:

  ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/redael/aleader-0.8.3.tar.bz2

Do a ./configure and then cd into the film directory.  The media
player is only in the film directory.  You don't need to build
anything outside of the film directory.

Thanks!!
