Can't Fast Forward/Seek

I have a ton of videos in varying formats (MPG/AVI/MOV/etc. etc. etc.). For
some reason I have lost the ability to seek or fast forward *some* of these
videos. So basically if I want to get to the 5 minute mark, it's going to
take me 5 minutes to get there. I know for a fact that some of these exact
files used to have this ability, so my guess is it's something else. I'm
attempting playback with WMP11. Is there a common cause for this?

Thanks

That's perfectly standard for any file that is not WMV. You haven't lost
the ability, you never had it.
