Long story. I'll try to summarize it:

The project is a DirectShow-based program where one process records video to disk. Another process (also DirectShow based) reads that video, while it's still being recorded to disk, and lets you seek around it. You could loosely think of it as a TiVo, but this is actually for monitoring video output from a scientific instrument. The video will be sync'ed with a considerable amount of metadata.

Now that that's out of the way...

The project requirements don't really bind me to using DivX 3, but so far anything newer than version 3 won't let me seek around video while it's still being recorded. EDIT -- if it matters, I've done initial testing with ffdshow, which is GPL'ed, so I can't really use that for production anyways.

On that note, how can I find keyframes in files recorded with newer versions of DivX?
