user9317: I've losslessly extracted 30m from a ~1.5h long video using the following ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -ss 0 -t 00:30:00 -i in.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy out.mp4

The split was successful and out.mp4 was created with the first 30m.
However... even though the video stops after 30m, video players such as VLC and Windows Media Player show the video length as still being ~1.5h long, and so does Windows Explorer when the file is selected.
How come the video length shown is different than the actual video length?
How can I adjust it so they will match?
I'm on Win7 using ffmpeg 64bit static from Feb 10th 2015.
