I am not sure if this should go into the 'bugs' section. Nevertheless posting here.

I have added a audio track (whose original length is 1 min 07 secs) in the project tree. However when i play it in the clip monitor it plays only 46.1 seconds of it. Same happens in the project monitor too. Clip properties also says its 00:00:46:13 length.

Same goes with another sample track i tried adding.. orig length 4:16, but clip properties say 3:05

Anyone has an idea why this is happening?
I am on slackware 13.0 and kdenlive 0.7.7.1

I'd say it's an mp3 file.
Is it?

yes. its an MP3 file

Had this problem as well several times, until I've converted the mp3s to WAV.

I thought this has been fixed in the meantime though. Atm, with current (dev) versions of MLT, ffmpeg and kdenlive, I cannot reproduce the problem anymore.

I too converted the mp3 to ogg, and the problem seems to disappear...
