[MPlayer-users] Broken avi streams (?)

Mon Nov 4 00:27:06 CET 2002

Hi all. For the last day, i've been downloading a movie from direct
connect. I'm now at 75%. When i try to play the incomplete movie, if
i use the -idx switch, the indexing stops at 47%. Needless to say,
mplayer stops playback at 47%. 

In a desperate attempt to view the remaining movie, i used aviplay,
which started reconstructing the index, and some time later it said that
it found a broken avi stream and that is trying to fix it. After some
more time, it started playing, and indeed played all the 75%. 

I haven't tested what happens if I start playing with mplayer without
recostructing the index. (I guess it will stop again, as mencoder -ovc
copy blah,blah stopped there also).

Is there any way of reconstructing the index in broken avi streams? Jump
to the next key frame, or something? Is there any way of playing the
entire file with mplayer and seek in it?

the mplayer is MPlayer 0.90pre9. I don't think of it as being a bug,
rather a normal behaviour of mplayer which is less tolerant to some
errors. 

Anybody?

I've included the 
mencoder -v -ovc copy -oac copy -o /dev/null incomplete.avi
output (i've chopped it a bit, it was 7MB with the position info lines)
