You are correct that it's the video player rather than TapeWorm that handles
seeking and fast forwarding.

I've used TapeWorm with Windows Media Player (parameters: /prefetch:9
/Play), VideoLan Client (parameters: -f), and Zoom Player (no parameters).
Other players and parameters may work as well, of course.
