[MPlayer-users] bad header for large avi files?

[*]

Hello, whenever I encode something that produces a large avi
file (not sure of the exact size yet, maybe >1G?) mencoder seems
to write an incorrect header.

I say that because when I try to merge it with audio:

    ogmmerge -o movie.ogm -A movie.avi -D audio.ogg

The resulting movie.ogm file is only about 900M instead of
1400M.  And when I run avitype on movie.avi it gives 2 warnings:  
                                                                               
              ...                                                              
              <AVI reader> : Reading index from offset: 1071620284             
              <AVI reader> : WARNING: stream header has incorrect dwLength

                            <AVI reader> : Stream 1 auds : AC3 DVM (0x2000)

                                                                          In
other words, in this example ogmmerge will only merge 121586                
chunks and the tail of the movie will be cut off.
                                                                               
I've tried encoding 3 different 2-CD movies and this occurs with               
all of them, and doesn't occur with 1-CD sized movies.

If it helps, I'm using MEncoder 1.0pre5-3.3.3 with Gentoo.  Any
ideas?
