[MPlayer-users] problems playing back large recordings

hi, as i use mencoder for recording tv-programms to .avi, when i can't watch them, i have to urgently fix the following issue: once the filesize exeeds 2gb, the index header seems to get lost and has to be reconstructed. also i can't seek in the file, wich is strange, since i can normaly seek in files wich have been reconstructed. if the filesize stays below 2gb, the file plays just fine. beeing not able to seek in a recorded tv-show is unaceptable, since there are plenty of commercial breaks. i compiled mplayer with the --enable-largefiles option. ideas? greetings, /jc
