Fix FLV Tool
Jaksta's Fix FLV tool allows you to fix duration meta data and timestamps in FLV files.
Sometimes when recording webcams the site does not provide meta data. Inparticular the duration in the meta data is important in FLV files because it allows you to search forward in the FLV file in many players. Without it you can not rapidly seek forward in the file.
Sometimes a recorded webcams video and audio may also be out of sync because the server is sending incorrect timestamps
To fix a downloaded/recorded FLV file:
1. Select the recorded/downloaded entry and then Download > Fix FLV menu item to display the Fix FLV dialog. Depending upon the size of the file it may take sometime to finish loading as it analyises the file.
2. The Meta Data section displays the file name and the actual duration of video/audio packets within the file. It also displays the current meta data within the file. If the duration in the meta data is different to the actual file duration or there is no meta data click the Fix Duration button.
3. Expand the File Contents section to view all audio and video packets within the file and their asscoiated timestamps. If the audio and video is out of sync click the Fix Time button which will reset the interval between each packet to the number specified. 15 is the default.
4. To delete packets within the file select them and click the Delete button.
To fix an existing FLV file from your file system select the Tools > Fix FLV menu item.
