Well, instead of seeking you could speed-up playback (doesn't require
index) though you can't seek backwards that way.

You can use a container other than AVI.  You can write MPEG-4 video into
an MPEG container with the latest muxer, but likely no players other
than mplayer will handle it, so you may want to remux after recording.

Mencoder supports a few other formats that may work.  See -lavfopts in
the man page.
