FFmpeg fixes the video, so it works in every video player, but it doesn't fix the timestamps. It only changes the timestamp of the keyframes, so they match the other frames.

With the sample video I posted above, I need to skip to 7 minutes before it starts to play the video. The first 7 minutes of the video is basically a still image of the first frame.

First image is before fixing, second image is after fixing.

i have made some specific fixes to correct files with such odd timestamps. try it out and post your feedback.

KSV, thank you very much. The timestamps are fixed correctly now.

Yet Another FLV Fixer: C file and compiled binary. Please test and provide your feedback.

TubeDigger, that one works fine too.



The only thing I've noticed is that VLC, MPC and WMP play the fixed videos without problems, but for example BSPlayer keeps playing the first 2/10th of a second over and over again (with both FLV Fixers). It must be BSPlayer, but I wonder what the problem might be. BSPlayer has no problems with playing FLV videos that don't have these odd timestamps.

As workaround, you can try clipping first second

ffmpeg -ss 1 a.flv -c copy b.flv

Thank you very much. BSPlayer can now play them as well.
