Hi.
I've tried to join two VCDs together using cat and mencoder.
first I did:
mencoder vcd:// -oac copy -ovc copy -o part1.avi
<change disc>
mencoder vcd:// -oac copy -ovc copy -o part2.avi
cat part1.avi part2.avi > temp.avi
mencoder -idx temp.avi -o video.avi
this works but I cant properly seek in the resulting file - I can seek fine up to about 70% through (the file is 1.6GB btw) and then no further, although the file will play through to the end.
I discovered that using -forceidx on mplayer allwoed proper seeking, however I cant create a movie that works without -forceidx. I tried this:
mencoder -forceidx video.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -o fixed_video.avi
but no such luck
mplayer -forceidx video.avi works fine.
