Description
Videos created on Haiku using the mediakit are missing the duration. Net effect is that playing them with mediaplayer shows a knob that does not move. You can reproduce it by converting a video using MediaConverter, or capturing something with BeScreenCapture.

New informations are hinting towards an encoding issue:
Download one of the AVI sample files here: https://file-examples.com/index.php/sample-video-files/sample-avi-files-download/
for example, this one:
https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2018/04/file_example_AVI_1280_1_5MG.avi
Reproduce it with MediaPlayer: it shows the duration.
Convert it using MediaConverter, to an AVI/MPEG4 file with 100% quality.
Open it with MediaPlayer: it won't show duration.
Using BeScreenCapture, clips created with MPEG/Mpeg4 are created with the correct duration. AVI/Mpeg4 are not. It's not completely clear if it's an encoding problem or a decoding one, or both.
