[MPlayer-users] Mencoder doesn't create Index

[Kichigai Mentat]

OK, I think it would be easier to just use the simple trick of avisplit.

It's a part of the avifile library and can split the AVI file into 
multiple parts.

---OR---

We can go the all-MPlayer route. Split the file into multiple parts 
however, then run:
mplayer <Input File Name> -o <Output file Name> -oac copy -ovc copy
and voilá! You have a file with a built-in index! This is actually 
quite useful with files with busted indexes since it really doesn't 
require recompression.

The price of seeking to force our beliefs on others is that someday 
they might force their beliefs on us.
