[mythtv-users] Old recordings show incorrect lengths during playback

Since upgrading to 0.25, when I watch some of my old recordings the length
is displayed wrong in the OSD.  For example, some 30 minute recordings of
the Twilight Zone show lengths from 43 minutes to as much as 10 and a half
hours.  As I watch, the time progresses normally to 30 minutes when the
recording stops.  On the other hand, the length displays correctly when I
edit the recording.

I haven't been able to identify much of a common thread between the
anomalous recordings.  They all seem to be from the PVR-250 and PVR-500
era, I haven't found any recordings that I know to be from Firewire or
HDHomeRun with this problem yet.  Not all of my MPEG encoder recordings
show the problem, though.  What should I look for to troubleshoot this, or
what information should I try to gather so I can write a useful bug
report?  I feel like I don't have much solid information to work with right
now.

Thanks,
    Simon
