Hello Lee, thanks for the response!!  I found the options you spoke about and will 
give that a try.  WMP is still showing NO LENGTH for the movies but the PS3 did play 
it.  So I will do some more testing, maybe this fixes it.

To give you some more background, the issue is this:

I use MCE to record tv shows.  Then I use some freeware called autodvrconvert to 
convert the DVR-MS files to MPG files so that the PS3 can read them.  And I use WMP 
Sharing to "Stream" to the PS3.

Everything works EXCEPT newly converted files are picked up by WMP and show up on 
the PS3, but they will ONLY play for about 20 seconds then they stop.  WMP thinks 
they are only that long but they are really full length.

Using your solution has the files showing up with no length in WMP, BUT the PS3 is 
playing them so I don't care about what WMP is showing as long as they play.

If you have any other ideas in this area let me know and I will try and do some more 
testing and keep you posted.

Thanks
Alan
