I wonder if they're simply estimating it.  By looking at the first few 
hundred frames, you can get an idea of what the bitrate is.  Between 
that and the file size, you can estimate run time.

You can probably find out whether this is the case by comparing the run 
time WMP gives vs. what you get in, say, Teco Ltd.'s Bitrate Viewer.
