Be resourceful, like using mencoder to copy those two (AVI - for MPEG you
don't even need mencoder) files together runtime, with a named pipe as output.
Then cat the pipe into mplayer. (I also watch films on wlan, but I admit I

No, it's just a simple read-ahead buffer, reading anything. The cache layer
is much before the demuxer layer, and it's better that way.
