seek within avi files created using AGK or GK

[lam_das]

I am getting this strange behaviour where mplayer refuses to seek forward in the avi file (says try -idx option, but that doesn't work either) that I created using AGK. I went back and tried GK. Same thing. The file is well over 2GB. Is that the limit? Is there a way to surpass that limit?

Moving to S/W players forum.

I put it here because I think I might be doing something wrong in creating the AVI file itself or may be there is some option in (A)GK to make the resulatant file "seekable".

well, does anybody know how can I ask AGK to create AVI files which are seekable in mplayer?? please help me.

Have you tried a different player?

AVI's produced by AGK or GK will have a keyframe at least once every 10 seconds, whether XviD or DivX.

Most players can seek ahead, and pick up playing at the next keyframe.
