Question about mencoder and indexing

I'm combining several .mov files into a single .mov file using mencoder
in a shell script like this:
mencoder -oac pcm -ovc copy $* -o combined.mov
However, when using mplayer to play the combined.mov file, I cannot fast
forward or rewind the video. Someone suggested using the -forceidx, so I
tried creating combined.mov like this:
mencoder -forceidx -oac pcm -ovc copy $* -o combined.mov
However, when I play combined.mov using mplayer, I get these messages,
and cannot fast forward or rewind:
Cannot seek in raw AVI streams. (Index required, try with the -idx switch.)
Cannot seek in raw AVI streams. (Index required, try with the -idx switch.)
Cannot seek in raw AVI streams. (Index required, try with the -idx switch.)
What I can to is play the combined.mov file passing mplayer the -idx
switch like:
mplayer -idx combined.mov
I can then rewind and fast forward through the .mov file, but mplayer has
to build the indexes first. It seems as thought mencoder should build the
indexes though, according to the man page. Any ideas?
-Thanks
