flvcheck fails videos

I have a web page that allows users to upload video files. Part of the process is that once a video is uploaded it goes through the flvcheck to make sure it is good. For some reason when I upload a large video (over 1.5 GB) it fails the flvcheck. When I run flvcheck manually on the video, it passes. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Try doing a checksum (Md5 checksum would be fine, you can find lots of tools that will make these for you) of both files and make sure that they're the same both pre and post upload. If they are then you'd expect that FLVCheck would return the same results for each.

    Thanks Asa I wil try that.

    Btw...do you know what an "unhandled exception: bad allocation" message returned from flvcheck is caused by? I seem to be getting that response back now and can't find anything about it in the documentation. Thanks!

    That exception usually comes from C++ when you're trying to allocate more memory than the process can support, the system heap has been damaged somehow, etc.  It's not an expected error, more like a serious programming problem.  Do you have a way to reproduce it?
