xvid and mencoder - corrupt headers?

[ivanova]

I keep getting corrupt headers in avi's encoded with mencoder and xvid. s far as I could determine, it happens with different settings and I couldn't find any pattern yet. It does seem to happen after about 1 Gig file size, but that is not always the case.

Anyone else experience this?

BTW I'm using the latest versions of mencoder and xvid 1.0.0

havent tried yet but will start testing quite soon :)

I found the problem. There wasn't a problem with the avi as such, it was a bug in mplayer that didn't read the ODML header if the file size were between 1GB and 2GB. It's fixed in the latest CVS version.
