Is there any plans to include a time-index in an AVI file ? Like Ronald says, this is impossible for >2GB AVI files. However, after loading them, mplayer can _compute_ an index even for >2GB AVI files (with '-idx'; it takes some time). You definitely need to compile mplayer with --enable-large-files, though.
