Hi,
I have a video that does something weird. The video plays about 6
minutes or so past the length it should. During that extended time, you can't fast forward, pause or anything either. I've ran into this a
couple times with my deer camera and thought it odd but didn't worry
about it. My question is, can this be fixed somehow? Can I get mplayer
or something to process the file and adjust the time it thinks the video
is to what it actually is?
Bonus, how in the world did it get that way?

You can try to re-encode or maybe remux with ffmpeg.

More than likely the metadata in the file is off.
This playback issue can happen with VBR MP3s and also Oggs as the
length of the file can be spoofed in the header.

are you using? For example mkv has mkvalidator which will check the
integrity and I thing mkvclean to fix errors etc.

To remux losslessly, use the "copy" codecs for both audio and video.

I looked at the man page.

and the task you want to do (e.g. google "ffmpeg remux avi to
mp4"). The first hit explains it nicely:
https://ottverse.com/ffmpeg-convert-avi-to-mp4-lossless/
FWIW, the command is
ffmpeg -i input.avi -c:v copy -c:a copy output.mp4
