Gee.  There are only *two bytes* different on 200 videos. e.g.:

$ cmp -l avi/m4v00657.avi fix/m4v00657.avi
    249  25   0
8381517   0  20
$

You would think that appending -forceidx would work: 

    mencoder -ffourcc DX50 -ovc copy -oac lavc -oac mp3lame -forceidx -o ...

But it doesn't work that way.  So you have to make two runs on each video.
Some of the videos are 500MBs long.

I think there is a bug in mencoder.  What do you say?
