[MPlayer-users] Wrong stream length? [Re: "Cannot seek backward in linear streams!" / Windows / Ulead capture]

[Joseph]

I think I can get the VirtualDub captures to work if I can figure out
how to get mencoder to use the correct stream length (it thinks it's
way too short), or to ignore it and encode to the end of the file. Is
there a command line option for that?

Someday this won't be so hard.
