I doubt it would, they're the same files in the end. I'd make sure
your database tables are all OK firstly, as this is known to cause
oddities in reported recording length and issues when navigating
through a file. Also, what type of recordings are these? DVB, HDTV or
capture card source? I normally have no problems with DVB files, but
ivtv files sometime have really erratic recording lengths displayed.
