Videos converted using FFMPEG do not have video duration information

I am using FFMPEG to convert uploaded videos to .flv, after conversion the flv video doesn't have information about it's duration. So the user cannot rewind/forward, replay or see a specific part of it. The code is as follows:

"ffmpeg -i $srcfile_path -s 320x240 -ar 44100 -b 2048k -r 12 $desfilepath";

Please help. Thanks in advance.

I ran the following command and it worked.

"ffmpeg -i $srcfile_path -f flv - | flvtool2 -U stdin $desfilepath"

This requires flvtool installed on your system. I am using an FFMPEG and FLVTOOL2 enabled server, so it worked.

That's very strange, I have been using ffmpeg to convert videos from one format to another without any issues. See example below:

ffmpeg -i input.avi -b:a 192K -b:v 2400 -s hd720 -c:v mpeg2video output.mpg

I am sure you know the syntax.
