Depends on the file. If the file has an index and/or sufficient |
| 8 |
metadata, yes. If not, you'll have to decode the sequence of frames |

and sum each frame's display time. (Videos whose framerate changes |
| 10 |
halfway through suck...) |

Either way, I'd suggest looking at 'ffmpeg' manpage. |

There may be a better tool for your purposes...what's the context? |
