Duration sits at 0:00:00 when playing M2T files

I think the title says it all - is this a bug or something I'm doing? (or maybe not doing!) or is it maybe just not an implemented feature for m2t files (HDV shot video)?
Thanks, Paul A

that is right. Same for .ts files.

Bug or not, I don't know but it is not very surprising.
m2t probably means MPEG2 TS. This file format is designed for "unbound" streams like for DTT, there is no duration field in those files (which are often a dump of those unbound streams).
also can't ffwd/rewind

this is the case for m2t files w/o the .tsnavi sidecar file that apple's vdvhs firewire app generates after recording...some m2t files are impervious to that, so no time-based jumping, either:-(
however, percentage jumping works:-) so i hacked a web interface mod that adds a seek textinput and some second/% based buttons...unfortunately vlc's seek only takes integer values, so even 1% on long files is more than the optimal 30s jump;-}
