[vlc-devel] fixing broken avi files to get correct length of video

[Kaarlo Räihä]

AFAIK only way to permanently fix files with (lib)VLC is to remux them, but
since VLC's AVI muxer is somewhat broken I would suggest other tools.

Anyway it would be something like
vlc input.avi --sout=#std{access=file,mux=avi,dst=output.avi}
or
vlc input.avi --sout=#std{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=avi},dst=output.avi}
(I am not sure if the ffmpeg version works)
