F4V video file duration metadata is wrong.

Hi everyone,

I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.

I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.

I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but

the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.

So if you scroll above 11:30, it justs hangs around

I tried to convert the video to flv (H.264 codec) using super@ converter which I normally use,

It converts but some frames are currupted.

I don't know how to fix this problem, totally stuck. I used to have Adobe Flash Media Converter 3.5,

which was a great converter, but not anymore ....

Thanks for any help.

    Is it problem with all F4V files or just this one. May be file itself has some wrong metadata injected or the way it was encoded was faulty. Try with few more F4V files and try out. You can try sample f4v files which comes with FMS installation.

    Now coming to second part - you cannot convert F4V files to FLV - i mean FLV cannot contain H.264 data.
