    if someone could help me or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.. i've looked here for a while and found nothing, probably because i don't know how to word it... i'm sure it's been asked and fixed before...


    so the 22 minute movie plays fine in mpc and vlc and regular media player, but.. the 'total time' for the movie is

    mpc: 182 hours 22 minutes 42 seconds
    vlc: 2 hours 56 minutes
    mp: 438 hours!!!!

    so of course i can't move the cursor to a certain part..
    any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    thanks!

    .avi file

    and it's also the only one in a series of clips that is messed up, so it's not the codec, it's just a matter of reauthoring (?maybe) which i have to admit i'm newbie at :/


    pulled from mpc:

    Video: XVID 640x480 29.97fps 95445Kbps [Video 0]
    Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128Kbps [Audio 1]

    thanks!

    thanks! that worked enough for me! this is what happened...

    ran it through AVIfixed, fixed the problem, but now there are artifacts when the scene changes (oh well :))

    avi-mux: crashes everytime i try and open the source file..
    but i opened the avifixed file (nothing new with fixing the 'fixed' file)and another file from the set and noticed that the keyframes for the good file was about 500 (40000 total frames), and for the bad file it was 40000 (the same number as the total frames)is this the problem, or just an effect of the avifix?

    but i'm just trying to learn for my own good, i consider this problem solved, and thanks again for the help!

    the first one did the same thing as the others

    heh. the second one fixed it completely, but cut off about 5 minutes and i lost the sound.

    the one with the artifacts is good enough for me, they wash away in a few seconds anyways. thanks for your help!
