I've found a bunch of these in my recordings recently.  When I try to
play them the player thinks they are only 2 minutes 10 seconds long
when they should be an hour.  The files are 6GB so it's certainly
longer than that.  Rebuilding the seek table doesn't improve the
situation.

I ran it though VideoRedo and it seems to have fixed the problem.  I
am still investigating but these were all recorded on my HDHR around
the time the power supply was starting fail.  I guess that's my
leading suspect.
