Um, really?  Do you know what the structure is called?  I ask because 
I've got a program that figures out the length of an MPEG-2 PS, and it 
simply counts frames.  On the gigabyte-plus videos we typically deal in, 
this takes a long time.  If there's a single place I can look for the 
time, that would be very nice.

Naturally, VideoLan could do what I did with TS streams.  Probably the 
reason it isn't done now is that it's an O(n) algorithm.
