Well... movie player says it is 79 seconds. And after I decode/encode using
ffmpeg, new file becomes 79 seconds as well. So yes, broken mov file, I agree.
But from the other side, ffmpeg is about video/audio processing, not data,
right? Anyway, I'm not really good in mov container theory, so does that mean
you reject the patch?
