There is no way for it to scan back and forth for you. I haven't seen any issues with running large files, although I have not tried a 8GB file. I find ffmpeg is a bit flaky with newer MKVs, I have a whole bunch that don't work and just spit out that error you mentioned.

I've found PS3MediaServer (http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/) to be quite good too as a quick solution. No setup needed provided you have the required libraries it needs. Glad to be of help.
