You can split the big movie file into small pieces, thus you have smaller index for each small movie file.

In the player, when current part is about to end, load next part, when current part is over, play the next part. So the movie is played seamlessly, you save network traffics, and your users feel better. You need to modify your movie player, but it is not a very hard work.

Be caution: you must split your movie file at offsets of key-frame.
