Videos Cut Short by 2-5 seconds
The Roku player is cutting my videos at the end by an estimated 2-5 seconds (on average). Has anyone else dealt with this problem and fixed it?
My videos are in mp4 format, and are post-processed through "mp4box -isma" to place the "moov atom" at the front of the files which allows them to stream.
My Roku HD player is up-to-date with the 2.8 b1158
Thanks,
Abe

I don't have a fix, but I can confirm that the same happens to all of the videos in my Onion News Network channel.

Is it possible that the audio track is ending before the video, or vice versa? The player will stop playing when either of the tracks ends.

In the Onion videos, it's usually cut off mid-word, and they play to completion in other players, so I'd say probably not.

Can you point us to a publicly accessible url that exhibits this behavior?
Thanks

Here are three from The Onion. They're not quite as dramatic as 2-5 seconds, but the end is clearly cut short...

Don't subscribe to the onion private channel, but the three samples appear cut short in an ordinary flash browser playback.

Wow.. you're absolutely right. I'm not sure how I missed that. Sorry about that, Kevin!

Re: Videos Cut Short by 2-5 seconds
I'm playing catch up with Roku development. Recently, I downloaded some of my YouTube flv files, then converted them to mp4 format using various settings in handbrake GUI and handbrakeCLI. I was able to convert most of them with no problems, but I found a few video files which are cut short by a few seconds (as mentioned in this thread).
When I play the files on the PC, I don't see this problem.
Has anybody found a way to solve this problem. I tried to convert files to AVI then to MP4/M4V. This didn't help either.

Re: Videos Cut Short by 2-5 seconds
If your audio and video are not the same length, the Roku will stop playback when the first track ends. The workaround would be to make the audio and video tracks the same length (insert white noise are black slate as appropriate to the end of the short track).
