Used Media Catcher (demo) to record a livestream. The flv file it produced plays perfectly well with FLVPlayer and VLC but I cannot do fast forward or jump to any other point on the video (incidentally, file properties say duration is 00:00:00). I decided to convert it to another format. I have ********* Media Converter as well as Super so I tried using these 2 converters. ********* hangs after I try to load the flv file from Media Catcher (have to end app thru task manager). Super crashes as soon as I hit the encode button. So then I downloaded Replay Media Converter (demo) and used it to convert this 359MB file to a 546MB 'middle quality wmv' file (but I have to say, it was a very slow process - took almost 8 hours. I was wondering how long it would actually take so I just left the process running overnight). But, even though I am now able to play the wmv file using another media player I am still unable to position video to another point (file properties still shows 00:00:00 duration). Can somebody explain (in not too technical terms, please if possible...) what I did wrong, what the right way is, and perhaps some tips on 'fixing' the file I have now?
