Things are working perfectly. I am now able to seek forward and backward with reasonable accuracy and I do not even have to add the -idx switch when I start mplayer. To help others with similar problems, here are the exact settings I use: mencoder -tv device=/dev/video0:normid=3:fps=25:\ alsa=1:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=48000:\ volume=100:immediatemode=0:buffersize=32:\ channels=E10-ch1,E8-ch2,R6-ch3 \ -ovc lavc \ -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vhq:keyint=100:vbitrate=2000 \ -oac mp3lame \ -lameopts vbr=0 \ -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd:tsaf \ -o recording.mpg \ tv://1 1 minute of video takes up about 15 MB and is fairly good quality. Thanks for your help.
