MPGLen

The MPEG file format has no index or length information embedded. This makes it impossible to know the playing time of the file.

This program will scan a MPEG file and count the number of GOPs and frames. When combined with another tool which reports framerate information, like mpginfo, the exact playing time can be calculated.
