[Red5] flv stream recording

[Dan Daemon]

Hello,

I have same issue with recording time line.
And we made it manually to play recorded FLV without
dead space by XML cue points file.

Any suggestions how it can be fixed?

It happens only when we record many users video and
audio to one FLV file.

Thanks,
Dan
