AVI and Directshow report incorrect Total Frames

[gregw]

I'm using the AVI object to play an MPEG video file. I need to calculate the total number of frames (length of video in frames) in order to use a scroller to control the video position.

My video is 1:04 minutes (which works out to 1920 frames at 30fps) When I query "Video Total Frames( "AVI" )" it returns 641974667. Using the DirectShow returns 64197. Both are incorrect.

For kicks I loaded up MMF1.5 and it returns the correct value of 1920.

Is this a bug in MMF2 R243?

Try going to the end and checking Video Frame( "AVI" ).

Try going to the end and checking Video Frame( "AVI" ).

Here's what I did:
-Stop Video
-Goto end
-Set alterable string to Str$(Video Frame("AVI"))

I get the same incorrect number: 641974667

Update: AVI files played through this object report the correct total frames value, but MPEG files do not (though if works fine in MMF 1.5)
