Hi,

AFAIK for MPEG containers GStreamer can only create estimates of the duration
based on the file size and bitrate. The problem is that I have a file here
where gst-discoverer doesnt report any bitrate, and get a incorrect duration of
46:36 min.

So video player like totem work incorrectly (if you move the slice). Is there
any way to fix this?

VLC and mplayer seems to not have problems with the file:
