[MPlayer-users] encoding and splitting an avi file

[Mihai RUSU]

Hi

Always when using avisplit to split 2 avis I get that problem. To solve it
(sometimes) it works with this:

mencoder -ni -forceidx cd1broken.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -o cd1good.avi

and repeat it for cd2 ...

It worked for me on some movies (but didnt worked too well on others) :)
