I was able to play your avi with mplayer 1.0pre8-3.3.5
mplayer -forceidx -zoom -vo x11 x.avi
-forceidx is a magic option for your file ;)
Wow! I'm impressed! Reading the mplayer manpage, I found:
-idx (also see -forceidx)
Rebuilds index of files if no index was found, allowing seeking.
Useful with bro-
ken/incomplete downloads, or badly created files.
Does this mean that Matlab made a "badly created file"?
Also, why the -zoom option? I can't understand the manpage's explanation. :-(
An another option is mencoder
mencoder -forceidx -ovc lavc -ffourcc VXID -o z.avi x.avi
which gives playable file and reduces size from 150MB to 640KB
Neato! And I can convert it to a more family-friendly format than avi,
right? What would be the command to do that? Can it do Theora? I see
no mention of it in the manpage...
Thanks so much!
