argument filename.
Currently this only works with AVI files.
Although you can use MEncoder to fix files without indexes, the AVI
container format is limited to indexing files up to 2GB in size.
It is however possible to store the index in a separate file and use it later
with \-loadidx, which is faster than rebuilding the index (with \-idx or
\-forceidx) each time the movie is opened.
(This is a limitation of the AVI format, and although there exists an
extension to index beyond 2GB, MPlayer doesn't yet support this extension.)
After the index file is created, MPlayer will begin to play the video.
