Does anyone know why certain ffmpeg front-ends yield correct duration while invoking pure ffmpeg yields often wrong durations? Is it possible to change the code easily, or use a different switch, to change duration algorithm or method?

I am a lightweight in C coding, but can make my way around simple coding changes and re-compiles. Other tivoserver team members can jump deeper if I can get some pointers.

Within the last week, I posted a short program that we use to determine the length of mostly MPEG format files. The program is used extensively in a video server for cablecasting. I haven't had it fail in determining the proper length for the video.
