[MPlayer-users] Fixing an index

[Hermann Himmelbauer]

Hi,
I have an avi file with no index, so every time I play the file with mplayer, 
the index is generated without problems. So I wanted to create it permanently 
as its described in the documentation:
mencoder -forceidx video.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -o video_idx.avi

Mencoder is then generating the index, then does copy the file and writes the 
index. (At least it tells me it's doing so).
With "-idx" instead of "-forceidx" mencoder does not even generate the index.

The problem is that the two files are identical (tested with cmp), so it seems 
there is no index created - at least it's not written to the file. When I 
play the indexed file with mencoder, it generates the index before playing.

What am I doing wrong?

My MPlayer version is:
MPlayer CVS-020926-18:20-2.95.3

		Best Regards,
		Hermann
