How do you disable this very very annoying popup in v0.8.5???

If it can't be disabled and not no steps are made to do so in next version, I know that MANY people will stick with v0.8.4...

It's the most insane feature to add ever!!!

No ideas, anyone????

I doubt that it can be disabled. Sorry.

Well.. If next version doesn't have some way of disabling it, I (and all the prople I know) will revert back to 0.8.4...

Sad to see that ONE feature/bug can kill an entire product...

This STUPID warning is still here in 0.8.6c....

Has anyone found a way to disable it??

In the preferences.

I would be very surprised if there are lots of people still using VLC 0.8.4a just because there is an option to generate a new AVI Index!!

Anyway, as j-b correctly said, it can be changed in the preferences.

Go to (in "Settings >> Preferences):

Input / Codecs >> Demuxers >> AVI

And select "Never fix" from the Force index creation drop-down box. Then save prefences and restart VLC. Next time you open a partially downloaded, incomplete or broken AVI file then it should go straight into playback.
