[vdr] Re: generating index.vdr's for non-vdr files

[Karsten Mueller <kmu@ratio.de>]

You could use mplayer for that purpose. It's capable of doing rewinds /
fast forwards, etc with all kind of movie formats.

mplayer [your favourite options] -idx yourmovie.mpg

the -idx should only be neccessary with broken AVI files but does not
harm on any other files except for slowing startup a bit...
