1. A method for seeking a file position of a file, the method comprising:

  • (s1) obtaining a file size “

    L,”

    a time length “

    D”

    of the file, a packet size “

    P,” and

    a specified time point “

    S”

    in the file;

    (s2) determining an identifier (ID) of a main bit stream of the file;

    (s3) calculating an estimated file position “

    A”

    corresponding to the specified time point according to a formula of A=L*(S/D), and rounding A up to a multiple of P;

    (s4) seeking a packetized elementary stream (PES) of the main bit stream from the estimated file position “

    A”

    according to an inverse order, and obtaining a presentation time stamp (PTS) “

    T”

    of the found PES, the found PES of the main bit stream being the first stream nearest to the estimated file position “

    A”

    ;

    (s5) determining if an absolute value |S−

    T| is greater than a preset value, and executing steps (s6)-(s7) if the absolute value |S−

    T| is greater than the preset value, or executing step (s8) if the absolute value |S−

    T| is less than or equal to the preset value;

    (s6) re-calculating the estimated file position “

    A”

    according to a preset estimation formula, and rounding A up to the next multiple of P;

    (s7) returning to step (s4) if S is greater than or equal to T, or seeks again a PES of the main bit stream from the estimated file position “

    A”

    according to a sequential order if S is less than T, obtains a PTS “

    T”

    of the found PES, and returning to step (s5); and

    (s8) seeking a first I-frame from the estimated file position “

    A”

    according to the inverse order if the main bit stream is a video stream, and determining the PES of the first I-frame is an accurate file position of the specified time point “

    S,”

    or determining the PES last found in step (s4) or (s7) is the accurate file position of the specified time point “

    S”

    if the main bit stream is not the video stream.
