roblanderson: babgVant:Try this application (http://babgvant.com/files/folders/misc/entry6485.aspx). It fixed the problem on the test file I had. babgVant - I downloaded your application, but I get an error when I try to run it. I've tried double-clicking on the exe and also running it from the command line with the file I want fixed as an argument. The error says: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."

Ok - I used the correct syntax this time and it seems to have worked - awesome!
I did this to an HD recording, and although the duration now seems to be correct, the resulting fixed file is about 100mb smaller then the original.
Original file size: 3,700,421
New file size: 3,598,699
I haven't watched the program yet and I'll report back once I have.
If you are using DTb, Andy's tool makes it incredibly easy to fix the problem with a new Profile and a new Process Condition. Here's what you do:
Profile
Process Condition
That's it! When DTb sees a file of length less than 4000000000 (approximately 7 minutes), it will run it through Andy's program, save it to the Recorded TV directory, and delete the original. Because the "fixed" file is saved in the Recorded TV directory, DTb will see it as a "new" file, and add it to the queue to be processed. The "fixed" file won't be less than ~7 minutes, so it will be processed according to the rules for that show.
That said, there are two risks:
I'm getting an error of:
Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
No further info in the event log. I am re-running manually to see if it works.

I'm actually about to give in and try replacing my two Hauppauge PVR-250 tuners with two others. (PVR-1600s probably) - If anyone has those and still watches this thread 'cause they have the incorrect duration issue, a reply in here will help me avoid wasting time and money. :)
ilvspase:Hi. When I run BabGVant's fix, the "fixed" file loses the last x minutes of the video. I think that the number of minutes missing corresponds to the incorrectly reported duration of the original file. Any ideas what my problem might be? Thanks!
For those having this problem on HDHR recording you may want to take a peek here. The newest software is supposed to address the issue.
