I used such a file, too.
But now I can not use it anymore, because of my already written BugReport.
But it is ignored at the moment :(
Looks like that bug prevents mplayer/mencoder to play very big AVIs (32GB) created from DV-Camcorder and
concatenated with transcode (avimerge)

You sould again try ffmpeg2theora it works a lot better now :)
