           Summary: [avidemux] high memory usage for many index entries

           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other

Avidemux builds the index as a list and then sorts it into an array. This leads
to a hight peak memory usage. Clips can easily use 20 mb for the index. So we
touch 40 mb of memory before even going to playing. Imho working on the list is
just fine. Seeking is not the usual usecase and going from one entry to the
next is equaly fast with a sorted list.
