[MPlayer-users] problems playing back large recordings

[nico berndt]

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,
