 From TFM:

*Q:* 	

How can I fix AVI files with a broken index or bad interleaving?

*A:* 	

To avoid having to use -idx to be able to seek in AVI files with a 
broken index or -ni to play AVI files with bad interleaving, use the 
command

mencoder /|input.avi|/ -idx -ovc copy -oac copy -o /|output.avi|/
      

to copy the video and audio streams into a new AVI file while 
regenerating the index and correctly interleaving the data. Of course 
this cannot fix possible bugs in the video and/or audio streams.
