gmplayer can play mencoder created avi if it's bigger than 1G

[szo@…]

I'm not sure if it's the same as bug #26, so I open a new bug. I'm ripping a dvd
with this command:
mencoder dvd://3 -alang fra -oac copy -vf
crop=700:550:10:14,hqdn3d=2:1:2,scale=350:275 -ovc lavc -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1000:v4mv:mbd=2:trell:cmp=3:subcmp=3:mbcmp=3:autoaspect:vpass=1
-o out.avi
more or less straight from the documentation. I can play the output avi while
encoding with gmplayer, up to the point when the encoding reaches the 1G size
and mencoder issues this message:
ODML: Starting new RIFF chunk at 1023MB.12min 1124mb A-V:0.043 [999:448]]
after this, when trying to play the file with gmplayer, it starts to eat the cpu
after this message:
"AVI file format detected." for several minutes, then starts spitting error
messages:
"Seek failed

meanwhile, mplayer can play the file just fine.

ODML problems should be fixed by now. Reopen the bug if you can reproduce the
problem with latest CVS.
