1. Describe exactly what the problem is, when it occurs and how to reproduce
it.

Video is glitchy.  Rewind to beginning does now update display.

2. Always include your OS type and version, Tracker version and Java version
in the report.

Works in 5.1.5.  Fails in locally installed 6.2.0.  Works online with 6.2.0
Windows 10 Education
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz   3.60 GHz
8GB RAM
Graphics Adapter: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

3.

4. If the problem is related to video loading or playing and Xuggle reports it is
working correctly, report the video file type and, if possible, its codec and
source (e.g., iPhone, GoPro, etc).

Video from Sony RX100V taken at 240 fps.

Hi Paul, thanks for the bug report. We can reproduce the issue you describe and are digging into it, but it will be at least a couple weeks before a fix. Just wanted to let you know we are not ignoring it ;-)

Thanks!

No worries.  The video analysis parts of the lab are finished for the semester.

I reverted to version 5 for the moment.  We will hope to use version 6 in the near future.  

I really like the reorganization of the menus in version 6.

Paul
