I believe the opposite is the case.  ODML files I've created with
mencoder seem to open fine with the avidemux (2.0.34), though they crash
mplayer. In addition, I've got one other ODML file here, created
apparently with VirtualDubMod (1.5.10.1) that crashes mplayer as well.

1.0pre5 had some real problems, but the main problem was cleared up. 
The only problems that I'm aware of (other than mplayer crashing), are
when people want to use applications that don't support ODML (avisplit,
ogmmerge, etc) on large files created by mencoder.
