I prepared an approx. 5 sec clip and tested

1) ffplay -stats test.avi
shows a length of 10.2 sec. plays properly for ~5sec and freezes at the last frame. The counter shows 10.26; "A-V:" (whatever this is) continues to count showing numbers -50 and growing more negative apparently indefinitely.

2) melt -verbose test.avi
plays the clip correctly; i can jump and single step back and forth, no problem. I don't know how to make it show a time, but when the "Current position" reaches ~150 the picture turns white, the counter continues up to 256, then stops showing the last frame. I can jump back to the beginning.

3)ffmpeg -i test.avi
$ ffmpeg -i test.avi 
provides also the wrong duration of 10.2 sec; it is only ~5sec

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
An *.avi video file is reported with a length exactly 2x of the true length. Same bug is found in Kdenlive, but not in Pitivi, so it amy be a problem of MLT?

The file: 
recorded with a digital camera as *.avi. Length is handstopped 16.5-16.8 sec. Nautilus reports 16 sec.

Tested on Lucid: 
Openshot1.1: lenght is 32 sec, 
pitivi: 16sec

Tested on intrepid:
Openshot 1.1: 32 sec, 
Kdenlive 0.6.0: 32 sec, 
Pitivi 0.11.1: 16 sec

Beyond 16sec of playback, Openshot shows a white picture, kdenlive a black picture, with some scratchy sound in both marking the failure point
