videocmp is simply a shell script that does the two-pass encoding. the
reason that it is over a hundred lines is that in theory I could switch
to other codecs or specify different outputsizes etc.

Nothing complicated though.

I tried fixing the video with mencoder -o new.avi old.avi -forceidx -oac
copy -ovc copy, which results in a (theoretically) seekable file, but it
appears not to seek to keyframes, all I get are somewhat 'smeared'
images that clean up after a while. I'll try to come up with a gdb
backtrace for this...
