:-(
I'm unsure if there is a way without re-encoding/injecting metadata.
I believe the upload sites get around the issue coz they use the Flash server to stream it.
Good luck, hope someone gives some good advice on this thread.

This is a question for the Flash developers out there...
I'm creating a little side-project Flash application that plays Flash
Video files (FLV) from a playlist.
I've run into a documented bug in FLV versions prior to Flash 8 where
the duration metadata is incorrect. This screws up the time progress
bar and seeking functionality of my video controller. There must be a
trick to get the duration for older versions of FLV since its obvious
that other Flash video controllers can do this. Any advice from the
Actionscripters out there?
Here's some documentation of the bug (scroll to the bottom):

and here: < http://www.sti-media.com/blog/archives/000111.html>
This documented bug is quite common since most video upload sites
automatically compress with Sorensen (Flash Video 6/7 codec).
I've used a tool called FLV Metadata Injector to correct the FLV metadata:

This does work, but I'd rather be backwards compatible with Flash Video 6/7.
