Comment (by rupa):

 Replying to [ticket:2145 cehoyos]:
 I am also facing similar issue when I try to play the AVI files that are
 bigger than 1 GB in Windows Media Player.
 My AVI files have following configuration:
 -MJPEG Video 960x720 at 26fps
 -PCM Audio 16 bits/16KHz/1 channel
 Please let me know if there is any fix available for this issue ?

 > (bug 194)
 > If an avi output file is bigger than ~1G, the file starts to play fine
 with WMP, but seeking is impossible, this works fine if the file is
 remuxed with MEncoder.

 > The following file plays fine with WMP, seeking works as expected:
 > {{{
 > $ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=s=pal -f s16le -ac 2 -ar 48k -i /dev/zero
 -vcodec dvvideo -acodec pcm_s16le -fs 900M out09.avi

 > The following file also plays fine with WMP, playback stops when the
 user tries to seek:
