I've seen it happen - I remember files with a claimed length of 17
minutes which were significantly shorter (~3 minutes), and files with a
claimed length of 10 minutes which were significantly longer. (These are
OSD display numbers.) This almost certainly depends on the information
in the container.

...if I run across those files again, it might be worth providing them
as samples in case the detection can be fixed.
