[MPlayer-users] AVIs > 2gigs

[Chris Frey]

Hi there,

I've just encoded a DVD and the resulting AVI is larger than 2 gigs
(will just fit on 3 700meg CD's).

The problem is that the index doesn't appear to work, and mplayer thinks
that it is a raw AVI stream.  It plays fine, except it won't seek unless
I run it with the -idx option.

Is there some limit in the AVI file format that limits AVI's to 2gigs or less?

Thanks,
- Chris
