Hi all.

I hope this is the right place for my problem.

Generally I have no trouble backing my DVDs up to a NAS using ffmpeg/avconv 
through k9copy, but one set of DVDs gives me a headache due to a reported 
duration of 1 sec and a negative bitrate. During the copy process everything 
seems fine, but when copy is complete, the problem becomes obvious:

$ avconv -i unknown.mpg

$ ls -lh unknown.mpg 
-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 1.6G Dec 27 01:24 unknown.mpg

Interestingly, XINE gives a total duration of ~22 minutes when showing the 
.mpg (actual runtime is ~41 minutes), but other players, in particular the 
Plex Media Server and client which I use for everything else with that NAS, 
are picky about this and refuse to handle the files in any usable way.

Is this a known problem? Any suggestions how to work aorund or fix this issue? 

Thanks

        Daniel

P.S. In case it matters, the problem occurs with DVDs of the TV serias ALIAS.
