> length of video. But original length is 19 seconds.
> When I try to open video file with installed VLC Player (1.0.2) on my
> computer, program pops up following dialog:

> This AVI file is broken. Seeking will not work correctly.
> Do you want to try to fix it?

> When I choose to fix the video file, seeking is correct and video
> length is shown 19 seconds on VLC Player.
> But when i choose not to fix, length is 1 second such as in my program.
> What is the problem in this avi video file, how VLC Player fixes this
> file and how can I do the same thing VLC Player does?
