[Kdenlive-devel] Wrong video lenght

Hi,
I've got a big problem after rendering my video project.
The project is PAL, 720x576 25fps and takes about 3 1/4 hours.
Working with kdenlive was very easy and I was able to cut and change everything I wanted to.
Now here comes the rendering part.
At my first try-out I used the 'export to dvd' function. My computer rendered about 8 hours and I got a 9.2GB vob file.
Playing this video using kaffeine or totem-video-player is nearly no problem.
The whole 3 1/4 hours are played at normal speed, but these programms tell me, that the length of the video would be about 2 1/2 hour.... . (and so does 'right click -->properties)
And, these 9.2GB are too big to be burned on a normal 4.4GB dvd, so i decided to creat a new video file, with changed parameters, to be smaller.
The output is a 3.9GB file, where all the 3 1/4 hours are viewable (at the correct speed), but the players still tell me a wrong duration (1 hour, 3minutes).
Now burning, using k3b, is not possible, becaus it has problems with calculating the file size....

So I decided to render the film again with changed parameters:

    format=mpeg video_rc_min_rate=0 video_bit_rate=12000000 audio_bit_rate=384000 frequency=48000 size=720x576 progressive=1

What I got  (after 23 hours) is a 16,8GB mpeg video file, containing everything of the video. I can play it without a problem, but the duration seems to be 5Minutes.....(what of cours is wrong. the correct length is 3 1/4 hours)
I cannot burn this as a DVD using qdvdauthor, caus it tells me the wrong length and qdvdauthor doesn't now how to work with that...... .

The only program that detects the correct length is kdenlive.....
Kaffeine, Totem, qdvdauthor and right click properties, they all tell me the same:duration: 5 minutes 27 seconds5 minutes 27 seconds

I dont know what to do now. The fact is, I do need this video on a dvd, with that dvd menu made by qdvdauthor.
What am I doing wrong, what can I change, to get 3 1/4 hours on to one DVD-5??

Thanks in advance,
M. Wegener
