hey! this issue can be fixed via simple ffmpeg command:
ffmpeg -i inputvideohere.mp4 -c copy outputvideohere.mp4

this issue is well-known and im working on an easier solution for this.

it's caused by live rendering, since cobalt can't predict what final file size will be exactly.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not really sure how ffmpeg works), but can't you count the duration after it's finished rendering or something?

how do you expect me to edit the header that's already been sent AFTER the render is done? that's literally impossible
