Hi
I've experienced a problem with VLC 1.0.6 on Linux:
The length of a specific Ogg Theora video file (Patent_Absurdity_HD_3540kbit.ogv) is displayed entirely wrong with 21 hours, 22 minutes and 55 seconds. The correct length of the video is 28 minutes and 58 seconds. What's going wrong with VLC?
Regards,
Nameless

Re: video file length is displayed entirely wrong
VLC sucks at guessing many Ogg length...

Re: video file length is displayed entirely wrong
I was just wondering this very thing myself, after watching the same video. Is there a particular reason for this? Being a complete lay person to the technicalities of all of this, I just assumed that a more open standard would help to gain better support. Especially in VLC which seems to support everything under the sun (much appreciated by the way). Thanks in advance.
