Yes, that document specifies many weird things. Note that it does not
discuss whether implementations must or must not generate a load event
in this case, there are a few vague hints in either direction at best.

Actually you don't, there are many video formats that do not include the
total length in the header and the transport protocol might not provide
such information either, for example HTTP with chunked transfer encoding
might be used. Anyway, as I understood you, you want to know about the
end of the recording, not about the progress. So if progress information
is the only difference, then there is none that affects your problem.
