It's too bad that current media formats don't allow you to scrub (at least, the ones I usually come across - I have no idea what makes a compression format "scrubbable"). IIRC, this was one of the selling points of Quicktime.

That's actually the major point that differentiates formats intended for consumption and those intended for editing. If you usually only watch something from start to end, you can vastly increase compression ratio by re-using parts of earlier frames that changed very little. However, this means that to get to a particular frame you have to find the last keyframe before that and then decode from there.
