Hi All,

We have written a wrapper around the MS MediaPlayer.  One of the things we
can do is adjust the frame rate of an MPEG during playback.  However, some
MPEGs cannot be played at a frame rate less than 15 fps while others can.
It would seem to me that there is a difference between the different MPEGs
and in fact, there is.  Using mpeg_stat, a public domain tool that analyzes
the MPEG's bitstream, we have noticed that the MPEGs that can not be played
at a slow frame rate, do not have a system layer.  I am not entirely
convinced that this is the cause of the problem though.  Does anyone else
know anything about this issue?

Thanks

I've been trying to get a source of mpeg_stat but strangely, couldnt 
find it on the web. Can you give a URL, or even E-mail it to me? TIA.

I don't have the source code for this application.  If you are just looking
for the executable go to
