Video duration checker

Upload a video file and see its exact duration.

Exact, parsed, not estimated

The checker reads duration from the file’s actual structure rather than trusting header hints, catching the cases where players guess wrong, like transport streams and partially-downloaded files.

Frequently asked questions

Why would a duration come out wrong elsewhere?

Streams without clean indexes make players estimate from bitrate, which drifts. Parsing the stream, as done here, settles it.

Handy uses?

Verifying recordings captured fully, checking platform length limits before upload, and summing footage for edit planning.
