yesterday i compiled the cvs version (dev-CVS-040524-06:00-3.3.2), 
changed the ODML_CHUNKLEN and encoded a file. i uploaded it at:
http://www.dermichi.com/ablage/movie.avi
this file plays and seeks ok with mplayer(CVS), but fails to seek 
correctly with 1.0pre4. it seems to me that 1.0-pre4 cannot detect that 
the file is in OpenDML format.
when using ogmmerge it only "sees" the first chunk (8mb) of the file and 
ignores the rest. xine (v0.9.23) can't play this file at all. i also 
tried it with windows media player and the file plays correctly there.

i also uploaded
http://www.dermichi.com/ablage/movie2.avi
which i 'fixed' with -ovc copy -oac copy (with the CVS version, 1.0pre4 
won't fix it). this file is detected correctly by xine and ogmmerge, but 
fails to play with 1.0pre4.

just this second i finished encoding another 1.5gb avi file (with 
1.0pre4) that won't seek over 1gb. still i cannot find any pattern to 
reproduce the error with 100% probabilty. i will try with the same 
settings and another input file now.
