Description Javier Jardón (IRC: jjardon) 2012-05-11 05:26:29 UTC 
Some videos report here a duration of 25:06 minutes instead the real 03:25

The video is encoded with this container/codecs:
Divx - Divx/WMA
Divx - AVC/WMA
Mpeg - mpeg2/ac3

The only combination that seems to work correctly is
MKV - AVC/WMA
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-05-11 08:30:40 UTC 
For MPEG containers GStreamer can only create estimates of the duration based on the file size and bitrate (and discoverer might stop too early to give realistic bitrate estimates). For Divx (which is IIRC AVI) this should work as long as the duration is stored in the file...

And the same for MKV.


Could you attach/link one of the Divx sample files?

Sure, here the file:

This looks very much like a broken file. Seeking is basically broken in all players (incl non-gst players) I've tried and every application I tested shows a duration of 25:06 minutes.
